Grand Prix legend Valentino Rossi has once again reignited the ghosts of his past rivalries during a recent television interview promoting his new autobiography, My Story. The Italian icon openly stated that the actions orchestrated by Marc Marquez during a historic championship showdown felt entirely absurd and continue to trigger deep-seated frustration within him to this day.
The feud stems from the volatile on-track drama that unfolded, with Rossi publicly maintaining that the Spanish rider intentionally conspired to sabotage his title aspirations based on their aggressive encounters in Australia. That tension ultimately boiled over into a controversial clash and a severe grid penalty in the season finale, handing the ultimate crown to Jorge Lorenzo.
Speaking on the television program Che Tempo Che Fa, the former world champion emphasized that the situation was infuriating because his rival was not fighting for the championship itself. "Everyone has their limits - some lower, some higher - but unfortunately, the story is even more absurd and makes me even angrier because, in reality, Marquez wasn't fighting for the championship; it was Lorenzo and I who were battling it out," Rossi explained during the broadcast.
He further admitted that he sometimes worries about his own mental state because the bitter feelings associated with that loss have refused to fade away over the years. Even though more than a decade has passed, the emotional weight of that night remains just as sharp, forcing him to consciously remind himself of his numerous other career triumphs to cope with the enduring pain of defeat.
This renewed outburst arrives just as his former on-track adversary stands on the verge of claiming another monumental world title after a remarkable comeback story. As discussions flood social media platforms, the persistent lingering bitterness risks overshadowing the broader narrative of an otherwise peerless and legendary racing career.
