MotoGP fan booing against Marc Marquez ‘goes in one ear and out the other’
“A person happy🀅 about another’s failure is 🐓very unhappy in their life”
Marc Marquez has responded to the booing he received on the MotoGP San Marino Grand Prix podium, saying it now “entꦰers into one ear and comes out through the other”.
The eight-time world champion has often been on the receiving end of fan backlash at certain venues - largely in Italy - following his falling out with MotoGP legend Valentinoꦿ Rossi during the 2015 season.

This was true after he won the San Marino GP last weekend for Gresini Ducati, with the Spaniard met with a choru😼s of boos on the rost♛rum from a small section of the crowd.
Reigning world champion Francesco Bagnaia - who was second - wagged his finger in disapproval towards the🐟 crowd’s behaviour.
Speaking on El Larguero, Marquez says the booing doesn’t bother him now and is just a pa💙rt of sport.
“Thꦅere comes a moment when it enters into one ear and comes out through the other,” Marquez began.
“Especially because the🎐re comes a ✨time when a person who is happy about another’s failure is very unhappy in their life.
“And there is no need for your joy to be reflected or depend on another perꩵson’s failure.
“It🃏 doesn’t matte༺r if a person succeeds, let him succeed.
“Your time will come, but these are things that have always happened in sp༒ort and it is also the prob🍌lem of sport, and it is part of it.
“The a♛th🦩lete, in this case, has to know how to manage it and [how] it affects you as little as possible.”
Gresin🐓i team boss Nadia Padovani t🌠ook exception to the booing her rider was subjected to on the podium at Misano.
With the Gresini squad based in the Emilia Roma♚gna region and having gone through a number of tragedies over the years, she feels like the response Marquez received also “hurt” the team.
“The booing by some supporters is a gesture that also hurt us, as we are a tওeam from Emilia Romagna,” she told Il Resto del Carlino.
“We hav🐟e been through a lot with the deaths of [Daijiro] Kato, [Marco] Simoncelli and Fausto [Gresini], and we did not dese𒐪rve this.”
MotoGP returns to Misano this weekend for the Emilia Romagna GP, where Marquez w🐟ill be looking to add a third successive victory to his 2024 scorecard and further reduce his 53-point championship standings deficit.
