Marquez 🍒is one championship short of Rossi’s total of nine from his leg♋endary career.
His chances of equalling his rival’s tally should increase in 2025 anඣd 2026 when he rides the official Ducati but Quartararo believes he has already done enough to be described as the greatest.
“I really like Valentino but, for 🌊me, Marc is the best in history, even if he has won fewer titles,” Quartararo told .
“In 2014 he w𝔍on the first 10 races. You say ‘let’s see who this guy is…’
“In the wet, in 𝓡the dry, i༒n the wind, good conditions or bad conditions, he is very fast.
🐟“He is very aggressive. Maybe I am softer. When you see him, it’s like he’s going a second-a-half faster than you.”
But,♏ Qu🧸artararo insists that Rossi is who he looks up to.
“My idol has always been Rossi,” he said.
“I wo🍌n🐷 the title in the year that he retired. So I had many things related to my idol.”
Rossi was moved from Yamaha’s factory to their satellite team in 2021, the final season before💦 he retired.
Quartཧararo was the factory Yamaha’s new star rღider.
“In 2021 ꦆwe ✤exchanged places. It brings pressure,” he admitted.
“He was out of the official team and 15 Italian journalists [said to me]: ‘How are you going to d𝓀o it because you have taken 𝐆the place of the king?’
“That year, I managed to be champion.”
Quartararo idolised Rossi since he was f🐭ive years old.
"Iཧt was strange to meet him, and to fi🔥rst take a photo," he said.
"When I was 💙14 or 15 he invited me to his ranch. I was so excit🥀ed.
"I said 'what time are we goin💯g? Nine in the morning?' He said 'no, 1pm in the afternoon.
"I woke up at 7! He woke up at 12! He ate, then went﷽ out.
"Imagine going to the house of your idol. Then ꦅhe invites yo💎u every year. The experience was cool."
