Rossi lost out on the 2015 MotoGP championship after an extraordinary series of incidents with Marquez that will live long in the sp🐷ort’s his🦋tory.

Their toxi൩c feud was reopened at the 𒁏start of this year by Marquez’s Amazon Prime documentary, where he shed new light on their rivalry.

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

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

“There has been talk about it, but not to⛄o 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 rider, and he said: “We agree.”

Marquez will swap Honda for Ducati nꩲext season, meaning he will ride the same year-old Desmosedici than the VR46 duo will have.

“It's▨ fantastic,” Marini insiste💯d about Marquez’s arrival.

“He is an incredi⭕ble rider, very 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 wo🌸n it. Nothing 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 v♌ia Marco Bezzecchi) and his VR46 Academy who crowned its fi♛rst champion last year in Pecco Bagnaia.

But also through Marini, his brother, who has been forced to endure criticism that he is oওnly in the premier class due to Rossi’s infl꧑uence.

Doesn’t he wish to silence those critics?

“No. I have a good heart.”

He’s less🐻 belligerent than Rossi, it is suggested.

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

Is Marini a future champion?

“I think that depends on me, jus🎉t like that. It can be done.”

🦩Can a satellite Ducati rider win the MotoGP title?

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

“I didn'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 t🌠he season with very ෴little technical difference, but with each test that difference increases.”
