Former Italian MotoGP racer says Marc Marquez should apologise for
Former Italian MotoGP rider Loris Reggiani believes Marc Marquez owes “an apology to motorcycling and its fans” for his actions during the 2015 season’s fallout with Valentino Rossi. Ten years later, debates still persist over Rossi’s accusations that Marquez conspired against him, particularly in the Australian Grand Prix where Marquez’s lap times raised suspicions. The Rossi-Marquez clash culminated in a collision at the Malaysian Grand Prix and penalties for Rossi at the Valencia finale. To this day, Rossi claims Marquez cost him the 2015 title, a sentiment shared by some fans who continue to boo Marquez at Italian MotoGP rounds. Ducati defended Marquez against these actions at Mugello earlier this year. In an interview, Reggiani, a former MotoGP rider, insisted Marquez should apologize for his role in the controversy, emphasizing the need for accountability even a decade later. Reggiani also supported Rossi’s claim to the 2015 title over Jorge Lorenzo due to Rossi’s consistent performance throughout the season.
