Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez won’t remain bitter rivals all their lives, believes one rider who battled against the former in multiple classes.
Former MotoGP star Loris Capirossi believes the bitter feud between Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez will eventually fade, just as time helped heal his own rift with Tetsuya Harada. Capirossi, Harada, and Rossi raced for Aprilia during the 1998 Moto2 season with Capirossi leading into the final round in Argentina. Despite a controversial finish where Capirossi crashed into Harada, Capirossi managed to secure his maiden crown. Although initially, there were tensions and repercussions, time has mended the relationship between Capirossi and Harada, turning former rivals into friends. Capirossi hopes that Rossi and Marquez will follow a similar path and leave their rivalry behind to eventually build a relationship based on respect and mutual appreciation.
