The series presented by DAZN on the rivalry between Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez is also an opportunity to study the two great champions who marked their generation. And the MotoGP discipline. Remembering that the Italian has nine titles and that the Spaniard has eight, we establish the dimension of the two men and their domination over their peers. But to get there, you need a special mind. Which Yamaha man Lin Jarvis defined bluntly...
Être Valentino Rossi ou Marc Marquez, It's not easy for everyone. And we're talking about the pilot species, which is already a step above ordinary mortals... The two men met on the track, for better and for worse and they erased the competition at one point in their career. So, inevitably, as there can only be one at the top of the food chain, the confrontation proves ruthless.
Ruthless as they themselves are. In the series DAZN, it was defined the mentality of these two predators of titles, victories and glory. Andrea Dovizioso whoever approached them studied them. He says : " they are similar in their basis, in their selfishness, and I don't mean that as a negative thing, but rather as their determination to achieve something. However, they are different in their attitude and approach. ».
Lynn Jarvis, for his part is for once less civilized than usual. His verdict is even clear… “ A great rivalry on the track, but there are also moments that are unpleasant. They want to “destroy” their rivals, I saw him at Valentino in his early days, when he was champion. He did everything he could to win and Marc is the same. On the bike, they are both “killers” », he says in comments relayed by Trademarks.
Lin Jarvis, Rossi, Marquez and the others: there can only be one left
Sete Gibernau gives his version which corroborates that of the predator: “ Valentino must generate a lot of personal hatred with the driver he is fighting with to make it work for him. That's his way of seeing things. We were very good friends, but by the time we started fighting on the track, we no longer had a good relationship and we won't have one again ».
Red respond : " with Sete, it was something personal. The Qatar thing made me very angry and helped me give my best this season and next ". It will be recalled that a protest during this 2004 Qatar Grand Prix putting Red at the back of the grid with the Doctor in exasperation who then launched into a crazy comeback.
Marc Marquez confirms from his side himself the approach of the merciless: “ in Moto2 there were penalties from which I learned. I'm aggressive, but be aggressive, fast, that's what makes the difference ". It couldn’t be clearer…
