Danil💙o Petrucci once apologised to Marc Marquez o🍌n the podium for Italian fans booing him.

Petrucci won the Italian MotoGP at Mugellꦯo in 2019 ahead of Marquez and Andrea Dovizioso.

Marquez was inundated by boos from local fans who had not forgott🐟en his rivalry with Valentino Rossi.

This season, Marquez was booed after winning in Mis𒁏ano - when Pecco Bagnaia came to ꦯhis aid.

“It's not part of this sport to do this,” Petru🐠cci said 🅷about the boos to .

“Because i💫t mean♏s forgetting that a rider is risking his life when he gets on a motorbike.

“I'm sor♕ry, and it makes me a little angry, that after so many years we still go back there. 

“Because I can understand, and I ꦑfully understand, the two protagonists, given that for them it will remain an open page as long as they live.

“But I don't understand those who were, after all, just a spectator in this story. For so💃me, that's enough, r𒀰ight?

“The booing of Marc Marquez, li꧂ke🦹 anyone else, is unacceptable, really bad stuff.

“When I won at Mugello wi🦋th the 𒅌Ducati, Marc was on the podium like me.

“I'll tell you a background story: if you look at the images there's🉐 a moment when I get close to his ear.

“Well, I was apologising to him for what I felt.

“I felt ashamed, evenᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ though I was drunk with joy at that moment.

“Yes, I apologised to him. Those whistles are what I would erase from🅘 that unforgettable day for me.

ꦏ“This only happens in Italy, elsewhere the r♔iders aren’t whistled. Never.”

That exp🍸ression of ne🤡gativity has followed Marquez in Italy, even though he now represents an Italian manufacturer.

Bagnaia gestured for fans to stop booing him at Misano this year, then later condemned the booin𒊎g.

“I really appreciated Pecc꧂o's gesture on the Misano podium and I really hope it was tܫhe last time,” Petrucci said.

“Also because if they think the🌄y can intimidate Marc Marquez with whistles they don't understand that you just charge someone like that more.

“They give him a few tenths while whistling…”
