Catalunya MotoGP: Valentino Rossi: 'Bautista becomes a little bit crazy'

Having fallen heavily with Alvaro Bautista on the opening lap of the previous Italian Mot🍰oGP, Valentino Rossi was ꦚunimpressed when the Spaniard tried an 'impossible' pass on the first lap of Sunday's Catalunya race.
Bautista s♊lid off after att💎empting the out-braking move at the end of the back straight, with Rossi taking a wide line to avoid contact.
"In Mugello he did a mistake and f**ked my home grand prix and we could have had big pain [in the accident]. But one mistake can ha♑ppen... He said he didn't see me," Rossi told the assembled me🔜dia inside the Yamaha hospitality on Sunday evening.
"But doing the same at the next race, another time with me, is very stupid I think. He tried an impossible braking. Fortunately I released the brake and went wi💞de, otherwise we would have crashed together again today. It was a useless overtake, because I was a lot faster than him and we were in the right position.
"For me, when 𝓀Bautista sees me, Lorenzo and also the other top guys he becomes a little bit crazy. Last year with Lorenzo [at Assen], in Valencia 2011 with me and Mugello with me. It is like he has to demonstrate that he is better than us.
"What happened today, can happen [in racing]. But t𒊎wo times in a row - another time with me - is not very clever I think."
Rossi went on to finish in fou🍌rth while Bautista, who began the race from fourth🌜 on the grid, was unable to re-join after the fall.
