Valentino Rossi “pulled hard moves - his rivals could say bad things about him”
Valentino Rossi criticised Marc Marquez but his own adversaries may say "bad thing❀s"

Valentino Rossi has𓆏 been criticised for his fierce reopening of his feud with Marc Marquez🎉.
Rossi caused a stir 🦋ahead of this weekend’s Emilia-Romagna MotoGP by hammering old rival Marquez for their notorious 2015 skirmish.
Marquez꧂ responded at Misano by claiming he ignor👍es Rossi’s remarks.
TNT Sports’ Neil𝓀 Hodgson had his say: “You would like to think, if you’d won nine championships, and someone said ‘what about 2015?’ I woul𒊎d say ‘what about the nine titles I won, the legacy I’ve built’.
“I don’t know why you’d want to go over old ground and🦋 say nasty things about current riders.
“Rossi pulled hard moves on a lot of ri🍬ders. His rival🍃s could easily say bad things about him.
“I didn’t think he needed to go over it again.
“The fact that V🐭a🦩lentino’s career went on so long? How incredible.
“Marc has won t♑he last two races after all his injuries, his age. W🐈e’re in a golden era.”
Boos for Marquez? "I was so angry"
Proof of the hatred between Marquez’s and Rossi’s factions was evident at ♒Misano for the last MotoGP round.
꧅Fans booed the victo🌱rious Marquez, forcing title rival Pecco Bagnaia into asking them to stop.
“The local fans didn’tꦯ approve of Marc winning even though he’s in the Gresini team. It is short-sighted,” TNT Sports’ Suzi Perry said.
“[Nadia Padovani] said it hurt ܫus, we’ve been through a lot, we didn’t deserve it. It tainted the𒅌 victory for her.
“It also upset꧑ Pecco Bagnaia who 🐽tried to calm it, to soften it, which Marc thanked him for.”
Hodgson said: “It feels poor. I’ve been involved i𒊎n this sport for 3🐽0 years.
“It’s someth💧ing that crept in after 2015 then🅠 disappeared for a bit.
“The booing was so loud, I couldn’t believe it.
“What was sad… Marc was pointing to the sky for Fausto Gresini. It was so beautiful. And I’m looking at the track inva🌃sion, and everyone booed. It made me so angry! I was fuming!
“You don’t have to like Marquez. I understand. 🦩Certainly if you’re a Rossi fan, you will hate Marquez forever.
“I a🌺ssume it’s like if you’re a Manchester United fan you will alw♋ays hate Liverpool.
“With our sport, it’s rare for this to happen. It has captured a percentage of 🎉fans. Marquez or Rossi - you’re one ཧor the other.
“I was s🦩uch a Rossi fan but I love Ma꧑rquez as well.
“At♑ bike shows when I’m challenged that I love Marquez or Rossi, I say ‘I like them both!’”
Michael Laverty added: “The crowds that we get in It🍌aly are quite partisan. It’s because of the Rossi 2015 moment.
“It will linger forever, I don't know if Marc will out-live it with Italian fans, even if he wins a title on an I༺talian brand.”
