The legendary nine-time world champion Valentino Rossi has once again addressed the lingering controversy of the 2015 season. During the promotional tour for his autobiography, La Mia Storia, the Italian icon expressed his deep dissatisfaction with the recent portrayal of the infamous Sepang incident within the MotoGP community.
Rossi feels that the current narrative has unfairly shifted to paint him as the villain of the story. He emphasized that none of the involved parties have taken responsibility for the events that ultimately cost him the world championship title. For Rossi, the pain of that season remains remarkably fresh, even after more than a decade of racing history has passed.
Reflecting on these developments, Rossi stated, "I feel very sorry because after ten or eleven years, the wound is still bleeding and open. When I think about it, I experience the exact same feelings I had on that Sunday night in Valencia. Lately, it has been suggested that I was the villain. This is not fair, and the book is a great opportunity to read how we reached that moment in 2015, because it is a story that started much earlier, years before."
His comments are widely interpreted as a direct critique of the documentary produced by Dorna, titled Sepang Clash: 10 Years Later. As noted in an analysis by FormulaPassion, the documentary appeared to present a one-sided account, depicting Marc Marquez as a victim while framing Rossi as the antagonist. The fact that the legendary rider has ceased following current MotoGP coverage around the time of the documentary's release speaks volumes about his frustration.
This ongoing tension highlights the immense psychological weight of one of the sport's most intense title battles. By documenting his own perspective, Rossi aims to set the record straight and address the bitterness that continues to cloud his memories of that pivotal championship finale.
