Rossi has a long-standing personal feud with Marquez dating back to 2015, with the former believing his championship challengඣe was deliberately sabotaged by his younger rival.

"In duels, have fun and try the impossible.”

“B🔯ut when you stop, respect🙈 remains for those who shared emotions and tensions with you.

“With [Casey] Stoner, 🥀the same. When I see Gibernau or Lorenzo again, I feel pleasure; opponents who never wꦰent beyond a certain limit of aggression.”

Over the winter, Rossi invited Stoner to his VR46 Ranch in Tavullia f𒉰♉or a day of riding.
