Rossi has a long-standing pe꧃rsonal feud with Marquez dating back to 2015, with the former believing his championship challenge was deliberately sabotaged by his younger riva🍰l.

It’s a belief Rossi still holds to this day, dragging this back into the spotlight last year during an appearance on former Motoꦗ3 racer Andrea Migno’s podcast.

In a new interview with , Rossi was asked wha💟t three tips he could give his protege to prepar💖e for a head-to-head with Marquez in 2025.

There are days when you have to win and days when you hav🃏e to bring home points,” he said.

“He never did [last year], otherwise he would have won the third wor🧜ld title as well.

“Don't fall into traps, mind games, don't let✃ yourself be conditioned by your team-mate. 

"In duels, have fun and try the impossible.”

Bagnaia missed out on a thir🐠d title by 10 points last season to Pramac Ducati rival Jorge Martin, with his championship challenge hurt by eight non-scor🍌es across the campaign.

Rossi’s MotoGP career featured a number of high-profile rivalries, with th🔥e likes of Sete Gibernau, Max Biaggi and Jorge Lorenzo.

On these rivalries, Rossi said:Racing against them involves a♛ very strong sporting hꦰatred.

“But when you stop, respect remains for those who shared emotions and tensions with𝓡 you.

“Wit♚h [Casey] Stoner, the same. When I see Gibernau or Lorenzo again, I feel pleasure; opponents who never went beyond a certain limit of aggression.”

Over꧙ the winter, Rossi invited Stoner to his VR46 Ranch in Tavullia for a day of riding.

The nine-time grand prix title winner will embark on his second full campaign in the World Endurance Championship with WRT BMW in the LMGT3 clas🅘s this year.
