Chico Lore𝓀nzo has made it clear𒆙 who he rates as the greatest rider in MotoGP history.

The debate - which usually comes down to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valentino Rossi - divides fans.

Chico’s son Jorge was in the ♋middle of their nastiest episode, and is a MotoGP legend in his own right.

But Chico has justified his belief 🌳t♍hat Marquez is the best ever, and is greater than Rossi.

ౠ"When Valentino Rossi arrived in 500cc he was with the same bike as Mick Doohan,” he told .

“And he was with the same rivals as Doohan, who had won ꦫfor five years against his rivals.

“When Marqueꦡz arrived he was u🦄p against Lorenzo, Dani Pedrosa, Valentino Rossi - that is, riders who are in the 10 best in history.

“When Valentino arrived he had no such riva🧔ls, no one. He had Gibernau, Capirossi, Biaggi, Melandri..."

Rossi is certa💞inly MotoGP’s most famou𒐪s face, and is now entering his fourth year post-retirement.

His tally of nine world champion🧸ships could be equalled by Marquez, his eternal🥀 foe, this season.

Marquez is jumpin🦩g on🍰to a factory Ducati which is a very different beast to the bike that Rossi failed to tame in his own ill-fated stint.

Jorge Lorenzo’s father has, however, warned that Marquez faces co💎mpetition 🌟for the 2025 title from one rider.

Chico believ🦩es that Pecco Bagnaia is the only man guaranteed💯 to put up a fight.

“Because🌜 Jorge Martin is at Aprilia,” Chico explained.

“I think Martin is a rider who is at t🔯he same level as Marquez, but with Aprilia we still don't know if it will go well or not.

"I think it's Bꦫagnaia, Marquez and Martin if Aprilia is good, I think Martin can be in the top three."
