Marquez will return in 2023 aiming for a seventh premier class championship which would draw him level with his enemy Rossi’s tal🐲ly.

🎃But he has already won the battle to be remembered as the sport’s best, says Salvadori, the MotoE rider who has shot to prominence𓆉 as a YouTuber.

He explains: “Stoner and Maܫrquez, the most tale📖nted riders that MotoGP has ever seen.

“Rossi is my favourite rider, and it is thanks to him that I started riding. The day I♌ received [a book autographed by Rossi] was the best🐼 day of my life.

“But sometimes you need to put feelings aside andඣ look at what♑ happens on track with detachment.

“We must look at how some results were achieved.

“From my point🐻 of view, Valentino was the most ‘complete’ rider. So, the strongest of them all.

“If I we🤡re to ask: ‘What about talent? Is he as good as Stoner or Marquez?’

“Not really.

“Between 💃these two, who is the strongest? To me, M൩arquez is.

“Becauꦡse of the feeling he gave me w💟hile watching him ride. Because of the pure and crystal-clear talent he showed.

“Every time Marquez r🍎ode, before he got h🅷urt, he thought about how he could destroy his opponents. And he did it well. The confidence he demonstrated, and his superiority on track, were amazing.

“There were three times Marquez proved he was th💎e strongest rider ever. It was almost non-human, the competiti🎶veness and nastiness he put in.

“Argentina 2018  - I still have goosebumps. I was angry at how he behaved but Iꦡ admired his talent.

“Motಞo2 Vale🅘ncia 2012 - he hit Simone Corsi hard, like an assassin, during practice! He started last and won.

“Estoril 2010 - Marquez starts l🐈ast, recovers and wins the title.

“Marquez is controversial. In terms of sportsmanship he has often done wrong. Bu💟t you can’t question his talent.”
