Since Marc Márquez debuted in MotoGP after being champion of Moto3 and Moto2a very intense duel was forged against valentino rossi with Jorge Lorenzo as a luxury spectator.
The Italian, then seven-time world champion in the highest category, embodied the figure of the ‘king’ against whom he promised to be the heir.
‘The Doctor’ did not win again and the one from Cervera put six titles in his pocket only interrupted by Lorenzo’s 2015 title.
However, the fight was more than fierce, reaching its boiling point on more than one occasion. In his new documentary ‘Marc Márquez: All in’ (With everything) on ’Amazon’, the man from Cervera highlights three races.
After Misano 2014the eighth champion explains how his relationship with the Italian changed: “It was in 2014. After the Misano race, I went to his ranch one day. Chopped, over time, to see who would break the track record. From That day, I think something changed, the relationship cooled down a bit, I don’t know why, maybe it bothered him that I broke the record”.
Then came the most critical moment in sepang 2015 with the historical ‘kick’ from Rossi to Márquez and the subsequent fall of Marc.
“In the race, we met, until one of us lost his temper. There are people who still say that I threw myself against the motorcycle. ‘That he didn’t kick you, he only stuck out his foot.’ It doesn’t matter, he corners me somewhere on the track, he doesn’t leave me space and when he looks at me, he sticks his foot out a bit. It was a mistake, also Race Direction: automatically, it’s a black flag and it’s over,” says the man from Cervera.
At the end of said season, in Valencia, the Spaniard returned it to him in his own way. Lorenzo was second, Rossi was fourth and Márquez, second, had it in his hand to give the title to one or the other. Finally, he did not overtake his compatriot and the Italian did not get the crown.
“That he could have thrown me in the last corner without knowing what would have happened, yes, but, in the end, a person who had done all this to me by overtaking me, Was it going to make him win a title? No“, Explain.
“I didn’t have the motivation because what they created for me or what they made me live during those two weeks I don’t wish on anyone. And even less at 22 years old. They told me: ‘you know that Valentino Rossi, through the media, has a lot of power, that Many people will turn against you…’. If someone disrespects me, I have character and balls, more“, ditch Marc.
