The raucuous celebrations from the Misano crash over Marc Marquez crashing out from the MotoGP sprint were unacceptable – and a fellow legend has to take some of the blame
“I understand that motorsport is inherently dangerous, with the risk of painful crashes always present, as evidenced by the incidents we witness as fans.
The response to Marc Marquez crashing out of the lead at Misano MotoGP was outrageous, especially given the hostility amplified not only by the TV broadcast but also by some MotoGP legends.
The tension between Marquez and Valentino Rossi’s fans was evident at Misano, adding to the animosity towards Marquez, particularly from hardcore Rossi loyalists.
Cheering a rider’s crash, regardless of personal feelings, is unacceptable behavior in any sport, and should not be condoned.
MotoGP needs to address and condemn this kind of behavior, as seen in the reactions to Marquez’s crash and highlighted by certain individuals’ responses, including Rossi’s actions.
Moving forward, it is crucial for MotoGP to maintain a standard of respect and sportsmanship among fans and riders to uphold the integrity of the sport.”
