But Marquez now reveals to La Gaz🗹zetta dello Sport that the rivalry was born in 2014, at Rossi’s private Tavullia ranch: "After that day it seemed to me that the r⛦elationship was different."

Marquez had won the premier class title in his rookie season in 2013 and was en route to winning back-to-back championships w🤡hen he spent the day, alongside other young stars, at Rossi’s ranch.

A year later, their relationship turned toxic.

Marquez insists: "I do꧂n't like to talk about 2015, but if I make a documentary film, how can I not do it?

“I also ta𒅌lked about Lorenzo and Dani Pedrosa, when it came to 2015 I honestly said what I think." 

Rossi turned 44 and Marquez turned𒀰 30 jus𝓀t days apart in February.

“We are both an aquarius, we are two ▨hardheads,” M🍃arquez said.

In a separate interview recently, Marquez looked back at Sepang 2015: “The Malaysian press conference arrived and instead of taking me aside and𒉰 speaking he attacked me publicly, it was disrespectful. I think it was intimidation."

Marquez enters the 2023 season hoping two years of injury hell are behind him but knowing that challenges still exist wi🐬th his Repsol Honda bikꩵe.

The preseason Sepang test was a po𒁏sitive for him as an i🙈ndividual but perhaps not so for his team overall.

"Now you ⛎have to work a lot, you have seen𒈔, but in this month you don't have to get angry, it doesn't help, you don't earn anything,” Marquez said.

He looked back at being fo꧂rced to consඣider retirement last summer when he underwent a fourth arm surgery: "The possibility existed. 

“It didn't happen because the doctor assured me that he had a solution, and at that point I ༒just said ok.

"Otherwise I would have stopped. In those months ꧒I thought a lot, that's why the decision came to separate from [long-time manager] Emilio Alzamora.”
