#AustralianGP MotoGP J.3 Rossi: “Contacts are now part of the game, if you don’t like them you stay at home”

The contacts between the leading pilots were one of the major events of this Australian Grand Prix manly but correct. A breathtaking spectacle, a balancing act which shows how talented all these pilots are. But it can also be scary sometimes and during press conferences, there was one name that often came up: that of Johann Zarco. And the Frenchman, in fact, was in all the battles.

That being said, that’s also what this sport is all about. The leathers were marked, the fairings split, but everyone was at the finish. A miracle, some will say. How to assess this situation? Marc Márquez, who is heading towards a new world title, has never been the last to jostle. His leather was marked by the Tech3 rider and the Honda official tattooed that of the Doctor…

SO ? So here is the word of Valentino Rossi : " Lately, the level of aggression on the track has increased. Contacts during the race have multiplied. Young riders arrived from Moto2 and also Zarco who is a very aggressive rider. The race is now harder, but oh well. You can get angry about it but it won't change anything in the end. It's now a part of the game. If you want to play it, that's it now. It's probably more dangerous, but either you accept the game or you stay at home ».
