MotoGP Rossi and Marquez since Sepang 2015: “someone will one day write a book to tell the truth”

Valentino Rossi was born on February 16 and Marc Marquez on the 17th of the same month, but since Sepang 2015, it seems that these are the only two facts that bring the two champions together. At least that's what emerges from the series presented by DAZN in honor of the two men who between them have 17 world titles. They are not from the same generation, but they are from the same story sealed during this Malaysian Grand Prix of a season where the Doctor played for the title against Jorge Lorenzo. Marc Marquez got involved and nothing has been the same since ...

All that for this. DAZN did a series on Valentino Rossi et Marc Marquez, until the Malaysian epilogue in 2015 which was the common thread of the soap operas. And what do we learn about this? That the grudges are stubborn, the anger still present, even cold. Several years have passed, but this championship MotoGP 2015 remains a topic of discussion. There was a season finale with very high tensions which continued afterwards.

It all started on Thursday from the usual drivers' press conference in Malaysia, when Valentino Rossi accused Marc Marquez to favor Jorge Lorenzo in the title race. Charge based on the Honda driver's behavior at Phillip Island during the race. And in the Sepang race, everything exploded with the on-track duel between the Doctor and the Spaniard. A confrontation that ended badly. The two men rubbed together, in every sense of the word, Marquez fell and Red sanctioned.

Third under the checkered flag, the Italian was penalized by a last finish on the grid during the last Valencia Grand Prix. Despite the big comeback to fourth place, Vale saw the title slip from his fingers to better land in the hands of his teammate at the time, Lorenzo.

Between Rossi and Marquez, time matters nothing

In the series Route 46-Ruta 93 Red, questioned on the subject, admitted to having forgotten nothing at all: “ When I think back, I feel exactly the same as I did on Sunday afternoon after the race, even though many years have passed. And I think it will always be like this ».

Santi Hernandez, chief technician of Marquez, for his part expressed himself as follows on the story: “ when we all retire, someone will one day make a book to tell the truth ". The official Honda who is recovering from a serious injury to his right arm has always rejected accusations of Red in his opinion completely unfounded. Everyone remains in their own position. But what is this terrible secret which deserves a book in several years and which a contemporary series in several episodes has not managed to unravel?
