Valentino Rossi recalls Marc Marquez-Jorge Lorenzo drama in 2015: “I deserved a 10th title”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Lorenzo won the championship that year in the season-fin🧸ale, a controversial race where era-defining rivalries boiled ov🧜er.
Rossi needed to finish second to secure the title for himself but, while battling away in fourth, found his arch-nemesis 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez pꦑurposefully blo🌠cking his path and denying him another accolade.
"I'm a bit sad that I didn't win the 10th title," Rossi was🍬 quoted by .
"Especially because I think I deserved it because of𝔉 my level and my speed.
“I missed the title twice at the last race of a season. That's why I think I deserved a 10🎐th."
"It is wha𒁃t it is. I don't think I can complain about the overall balance of my career."
As well as his 2015 heartbreak, Rossi fell short at the last race of the 2⛄006 season in Valencia. Rossi fell, and eventually finished 13th, so missed out to Nicky Hayden.
The Italian, now 43, won seven premier class championships with Honꦚda and Yamaha, plus a 250cc and two 125cc titles.
His earliest prizes, with Aprilia at 125cc, meant that the legendary Italian did succeed with a team from hi༒s home country.

Rossi on Ducati: "Regrets?"
But iౠt was notoriously a different story when Rossi swapped Yamaha for Ducati, in 2011 and 2012, for two awful years. He would never win another title🐲, even when he returned to Yamaha, suffering a 12-year drought to end his career.
Rossi said about going💞 to Ducati: ♈"Regretting something in the sense of a decision I made? I honestly don't.
“Of c༒ourse, the time with Ducati was a diffꦦicult one for me.
"It was a big challenge, me as an Ita🙈lian rider on an Italian bike. If we hadౠ won, we would have made history.”
Ducati, last year, f✅inally crowned their first world champion since Casey Stoner in 2007. Francesco Bagnaia became the first Italian premi꧑er class champion since Rossi in 2009, too.
Rossi’s fingerprint൩s were all over Bagnaia’s g🌊lory - he is a VR46 graduate - finally a small piece of atonement for The Doctor.
