The two Italians’ rivalry remains among MotoGP’s most iconic and hasn’t fully ♊settled down to this day.

Biaggi, now 52, has reacted to a remark from Rossi where he referred🌄 to them as “friends”.

He told about his relationship with Rossi: “It’s n🅷ormal, we greet each other🤡. 

“It happened that he said: ‘My friends Stoner, Biaggi, Lore𓂃nzo’... but…

“You can’t talk about friendship. Nothing has ever been done to c💙reate it. 

“I remember when I had a serious acciden♓t, I was hospitalised for a long time. 

“I received messages and phone calls from everyone, but n⛎othing fro🐬m him.

“But no regrets.”

Biaggi, in 2017, was badly injured when he crashed during a training🌄 session in Rome.

Many, many years earlier the Biaggi vs Rossi feud a🅘llegedly starteꦆd in a restaurant.

Biaggi,📖 in Suzuka in 1997, snapped “when you talk about me, f♔irst rinse your mouth” as Rossi spoke to the media.

Earlier this y𝔍ear, Biaggi reflected on the glory days of their bitter feud to : "That time I had answered because he had said 'better one day at Rossi's than a hundred at Biaggi’s'. 

“In short, an action c🍎orrespond🐽s to a reaction. 

“From then on it was [an argument] especia💙lly for you journalists, 🌳although I admit that we helped you a bit! 

“But now I think we were two idiots who waged war against each other through the press instead of clarifying in person how w🎃e should have done.”
