Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez are the two greatest riders in the MotoGP era. The achievements and world championships they have won speak for themselves, and they have a huge fan following across the globe. But the biggest pity here is the two legends don't like each other. Though Marc Marquez hasn't mentioned anything about liking or disliking Rossi, the Italian mentioned that he doesn't like Marc Marquez. 

Advertisment

Rossi thinks he lost the 2015 MotoGP title against his teammate Jorge Lorenzo only because of Marc Marquez's influence. During that season, Marquez and Rossi collided multiple times during races, and the Italian legend lost his title to Lorenzo only by 5 points. 

If they hadn't collided with each other that season, he would have become an eight-time world champion. Rossi even thought Marquez wanted to make his fellow countryman the world champion, so he often crashed with him during races. 

In a recent interview, Rossi said he will never forgive Marc Marquez for his actions during their racing days. But Marquez, on the other hand, doesn't want to fight with anyone and expresses his feelings clearly. The Spaniard said Feud with Rossi doesn't bother him anymore as he has more things to focus on.

But we are gearing up for the Argentine Grand Prix. Let us re-watch the famous fight between Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez during the 2015 Argentine GP. Marc Marquez was the Repsol Honda team rider, and Valentino Rossi was the Moster Energy Yamaha rider.

Marquez claimed the pole, but during the race, everything changed. Rossi chased him hard and overtook Marquez on lap 22. Marc Marquez then tried hard to get back to his position. In doing so, he touched the rear of the Yamaha, and in the corner, he collided again with Rossi's rear tyre and fell to the ground very hard. 

Marc Marquez tried to rejoin, but it was too late and the Italian won the race. This tight battle between the two was one of those many battles they had over the years. This year, Marc Marquez is riding for Ducati and is the favourite to win the Argentine Grand Prix.
