Valentino Rossi 'thi💟nks' he is over the disappointment of losing the 2015 MotꦆoGP title at the very final round.

But that doesn't mean ওhe h⛦as softened his stance on the controversy with Marc Marquez during the closing races of the season.

Speaking during Monday's Movistar Yamaha launch, the only clar▨ification Rossi made was addressed to those who feel the Italian lit the fuse for his own downfall by attacking Marquez in the Sepang pre-event press conference.

"I don't agree with those who say Marquez acted against me after the press conference at Sepang," Rossi said. "He had already d𝐆ecided to do everyꦆthing possible so that I did not win the title. My statements did not change anything."

Rossi accused Marquez of trying to help Jorge Lorenzo in Australia, adding that the Honda rider was "angry and thinking like a child" following their earlier clashes and saw a title win for L🦄orenzo as "the lesser evil."

Against that backdrop, Marquez and Rossi then battled furiously over third place in the Malaysian race, until Rossi lost his cool and forced Marquez wide. Contact wa💝s made, leaving Marquez on the ground and Rossi with three penalty points.

Due toꦓ an earlier penalty point, the Yamaha rider was demoted to last on the grid at Valencia, where he lost the championship to team-mate Lorenzo.

Marquez rejected Ros♚si's claims, declaring he was managing his front tyre in Australia - where he pasꩵsed Lorenzo for victory on the last lap - and that he was trying to break away from Rossi at Sepang.

The double MotoGP champion was again in R𒐪ossi's sights after finishing a close second to Lorenzo in Valencia, where Ro🧸ssi stated the Honda rider "wanted to finish his work and protect Lorenzo".

"If the target was [to help Lorenzo] I would have stayed ten seconds behind and not taken an♚y risks..ಌ. When people say you didn't try to win the race, I feel insulted," Marquez responded.

Rossi and Lorenzo briefly shook hands at the 2016 Yamaha launch, the nine time world champion explaining they are "team-mates and must be professional enough to put ꦡpersonal problems aside and work together at Yamaha."

But he has no need for such a relat𒁏ionship with Marquez: "Fortunately, Marquez is not in my team!"
