Rossi los🍬t out on the 2015 MotoGP championship after an extraordinary series of incidents with Marquez that will live long in ౠthe sport’s history.

Their toxic feud was reopened at the start of this year by Marqu𓆉ez’s Amazon 🍰Prime documentary, where he shed new light on their rivalry.

“I was at home and I didn't experience that up close, becaus𒆙e there was also a time difference,” Rossi’s brother Marini, who was 18 at the time, remembered to about the infamous S💝epang race.

Rossi knocked Marquez off his bike and was hit a penalty to start from theℱ back of the grid at the season-finale, which ultimately hampered his chance at winning the title.

“There has 🉐been talk about it, but not too much,” Marini said about Rossi’s lingering frustration.

“He hasn't talked about it much with me, 🔥but 👍I'm sure he's still angry.”

It was put to Marini that the events🐼 of 2015 changed MotoGP forever, turning it into a sport closer to football where fans pick a side.

Marini was told that fans shouldn’t be so partisan against a fallen ride🀅r, and he said: “We agree.”

Marquez will swap Honda for Ducati ♛next season, meaning he will ride the same year-old Desmosedic🐬i than the VR46 duo will have.

“It's fantastꦐic,” Marini insisted about Marquez’s﷽ arrival.

“He is an incredibl🔯e rider, veౠry strong, but like all the others, the most he can do is win races and we already have Jorge and Pecco who do it.

“That he can also 🥃win the title? Pecco has already won it. Nothinꦑg is going to change, nothing.”

Marini as MotoGP champion? "It can be done"

Rossi’s legacy continues through his VR46 team (who are challenging for this year’s title via Marco Bezzecc🐓hi) and his VR46 Academy who crowned its first champion last year in Pecco Bagnaia.

But also through Marini, 𒁃his brother, who has been forced to endure criticism that he is only in the premier class due to Rossi’s influence.

Doesn’t he wish to silence those critics?

“No. I have a good heart.”

He’s less belligerent than Roꦗssi, it is suggested.

“Yes, I am more peaceful, too,” he replied.

Is Marini a future champion?

“I ♚think that depends on me, just like that. It can be done.”

Can a satellite Ducati rider win the MotoಌGP title?

“Jorge Martin has shown that it can be done🐼,” Marini said. 

“I 🐻ඣdidn't think I could win the World Championship, but the Pramac team has a very official status, more so than us, with a very good bike and Ducati engineers with a lot of experience. 

“We started the season with very little technical difference, but with each test that difference🗹 increases.”
