Rossi was very good at controlling the fans,” 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Scott Redding told the Motorsport Republica podcast.

“He’s always been good at that.

“That’s why he’s such a big name in t꧒he sport - because he was the only one with a personality!

“Good or bad, he played it very well.

“When things got roug𝔉h and ready with Marc, and he played the fans🌄 against him, it was naughty.

“Ma𝓡rc had people turning up to h🌜is house… there was no need for it.

“[Rossi] could have stopped it🀅. People won’t agree, but it showed the bad side of Rossi.

“Marc was getting booed last year in Misano. Pecco Bagnaia was on the podium saying ‘you don’t ne🤪ed to do that’, and I🔴 respect that.”

Scott Redding: 'Didn't see eye to eye' with rivals

He remembe🍃rs an era where riders were💯 not so friendly - and he prefers it.

“The end of it was ♔Valentino Rossi v Marc Marquez,” Reꦓdding said.

“But Rossi v Sete Gibernau, tha🍬t was racing. It wa🍸s f****** personal!

“I used to be in the paddock and didn’t even have a handle of friends. If I🐽 had a friend in the same race, it was difficult. I could manage it but…

“I didn’t see eye to eye with 🌳them. Now they all have dinner together.

“For me, when I’m on the grid I'm going to war. I used to struggle wi✱th that, when I took the helmet off.

“Over the years it has become a friendship thing. They all tr🤪ain together! I don’t want to train with my rivals, they’re all learning each other’s weaknesses.

“It’s hard now b🅘ecause it’s the way the sport is𒈔 going. You are expected to be nice.

“If you give a middle finger to someone in the race, you get a fine. Say something badꦰ, you get a fine🉐.”
