Marc Marquez hints at what must happen for a Valentino Rossi reconciliation
Marc Marquez has addressed the possibility of reconciling with his long-time MotoGP rival Valentino Rossi, acknowledging that it would require effort from both sides.
The rivalry between the MotoGP legends escalated during the controversial 2015 Malaysian Grand Prix but saw a slight truce in 2016.
However, their feud was reignited in 2018 when Rossi fell after contact with Marquez in Argentina.
Since Rossi retired in 2021, any hopes of reconciliation have remained elusive, despite calls from Ducati team boss Davide Tardozzi for the two to shake hands and end the grudge.
Marquez, aiming to match Rossi’s seven premier-class world championships, admits reaching Rossi’s 89 wins milestone is a tougher target, even though he recently surpassed Agostini’s 68-win record in Germany.
