Marquez joined the MotoGP grid in 2013, teaming with Pedro💟sa at Repsol Honda and incredibly winning the championship in his rookie season. They spent six seasons sharing a garage during which Mar🉐quez won five titles.

In his new Amazon Prime Video documentary ‘Marc Marquez: All In’ he has revealed the depth of the animosity with🐼 Pedrosa, the most successful MotoGP rider to have never become champion.

“Dani and🐟 I, now we get along great, and he’s an amazing person,” Marquez said.

“But in 2💞013 and 2014 there was te🔴nsion. He was the king, the No1, and people listened to what he said in the box.

“Ev🌠eryone expected something from him. The team was focused on him.

“And out of nowhere comes this kid, in his ওfirst year after Moto2. First race… boom! Secondܫ race, boom! And it’s a hard pill to swallow.”

Pedrosa admitted: “In those years there was a lot of tension because we were fighting for the same thing.♎ 

“He knew ab༺out my potential. That’s why he always tried to stick to me, so I had no sp💖ace to really take off.

“He’s very ꧋competitive. That’s his strong suit, how competitive he’s always been with everything.”

Marquez admitted that his competitiveness🍰 extended to intentionally trying to scupper Pedrosa’s bike by spreading false opinions.

“Back then we had a great bike and everything worked well,” he said. “So i🎐f a replacement piece worked for him, then I didn’t like it [and I would say]: ‘This doesn’t work, I want th🍰is one!’

“‘I want this replacement piece, sinꦦce I’m leading! Don’t give him this!’

“That’s how it was.

“‘How about♚ this piece? You want to try it?’ But I didn’t want to. I just𓆏 didn’t want him to have it.

“It’s the kind of trick everyone pulls.꧅ People don’t talk ꦚabout it.”

Their final two years together, where Marquez twice won the championships, 🍎were more cordial, he claims.

“After 20🌠15, 2016, everything calmed down and we had a good, normal, teammates relationship,” Marquez said.

“After a while, I think you can learn to 🐬accept the sit💜uation, right?

“It 𒀰happens, and I’m sure it’ll eventually happen to me too.”

Pedrosa, now a KTM tes🐓t rider, looked back on the relationship: “Despite everything, despite how competitive we were with each other, 🐓we ended up getting along great.”

Since Pedrosa’s exit, Marquez has been teammates with168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Jorge Lorenzo for one season, his brother 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez in 2020, and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pol Espargaro for the past two years.

Joan Mir, the 2020 wo🔯rld champion with Suzuki, has mov🍒ed to Repsol Honda this season forming an exciting partnership with Marquez.

It is comparable to Marquez and Lorenzo - two ex-champions in a dream duo. Marquez won the titl🍰e that year but Lorenzo endur⛦ed a nightmare, finishing 19th.

“I’ve never been a nice teammate,” Marquez said in w꧅ords that might alarm Mir. 

“You’ve got to make your teammate’s lif🅘e ꧑impossible, if you can.”
