The Argentina MotoGP clash between Marc Marquez and Valentino Rossi clear🔥ly has major implications for the riders directly involved.

But what is the💯 impact, if any, on their competitors?

Andrea Dovizioso and Johann Zarco indicated that b🤪💖oth Marquez and Rossi could be weakened by the incident, which saw Rossi fall after contact from Marquez.

"For sure it will affect everything," said Doꦍvizioso, title runner-up to Marquez last season.

"Because when som🤪ething like that happens, every time they wilജl fight there is a past. And it will affect everybody for sure."

Zarco added: "I really hope it doesn't bring negative things to our championship, but I think the difficult situation these riders are living now can give us the opportunity to get victories and move 𝔍this championship a little bit more.

"So I almost see it as a positive thing for us."

But Suzuki's Alex Rinജs was disappointed it 𝔉had overshadowed his debut podium.

"When something happens like in Argentina - for e🔥xample I did a podium, and they talk more about the situation [between Rossi and Marquez] than my podium. I think we should talk more about the important things."

Race winner Cal Cru🃏tchlow was probably the least concerned:

"It doesn't affect my life in one instance. I got to go home safe, s🌄ee my family, eat my food and do what I want to do. It didn’t affect my life until we had questions in the media today. Simple as that."
