168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valentino Rossi have previously shared their thoughts about the Isle of ওMan 🌳TT.

The TT, which 💛is ongoing this week, is a must-see motorsport attraction which captures the imagination.

It represents a vastly different challenge to circuit racing and lef▨t Marquez uneasy.

"I have a lot of respect for the riders that race there, but I don't like it," 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marquez said three years ago.

"I like to have fun, to enjoy riding, to look for the limit; to go to the Isle of Man i🐼s to 🀅gamble away your life, that's how I see it.

“I ride bikes to have fun, not to suffer and endan🌞ger my life."

In 2009, Ro🐎ssi rode a parade lap with Giaജcomo Agostini around the famous Mountain Course.

"The lap is great and impressed me a lot because I know that it's dangerous and also fast," 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Rossi said at the time.

"I don'🌸t expect a road like this to be a track and it is unbelievable to be going flat out around it on a Super𝓀bike.

“You need to have two great balls!

"For the first lap it's impossible to push for the first lap. I▨ want to come and m🐠ake five or six laps to understand it better."

The worlds of MotoG༺P and road racing have occasionally blurred, with the mutual respect ever present.

Last year, TT legend John McGuinness nailed a personal be🔴st lap around Silverstone while following Rossi.

"This little fella from Italꦦy came steaming past me on the back-straight," McGuinness joked.

"Somebody called Valentino Rossi, I thought 'he is🔜 pretty fast, I'll get on the back of him'.

"He dragged me round to do the fastest lap I'🧸ve ever done at Silverstone.

"I bဣit the screen, trying to 𓄧hang on as much as I could!

"I was more interested in wꦡat🔥ching him. He's the best in the world."

In January, Rossi invited Michael Dunlop and Davey Todd to his an🙈nual Race of Champions at his Tavullia ranꦅch.

Ped🅰ro Acosta was particularly awe-struck to meet - and team up with - Dunlop for the showpiece event.

“I was horr🔜ific at it, I had no pace, but the invite alone, to be involved [was g💖reat],” Dunlop said.
