Marquez joined the MotoGP grid in 2013, teaming with Pedrosa at Repsol Honda and incredibly winning the champi𒅌onship in his rookie season. They spent six seasons sharing a garage during which Marquez won five titles.

“Dani and I,🥀 now we get along great, and he’s an amazing person,” Marquez s🐼aid.

“But in 2013 and 2014 there was tension. He was the king, ꦑthe No1, and people listened to what he said in the box.

“Everyone expected something from him.🙈 The tജeam was focused on him.

“And out of nowhere comes this k𒈔id, in his first year after Moto2. First race… boom! S✨econd race, boom! And it’s a hard pill to swallow.”

Pedrosa admitted: “In those years there🦹 was a lot of tension because we were fighting for the same thing. 

“He knew about my potential. That’s why he always tried to stick to me, s⛄o I had no space to really take off.

“He’s very competitive. Th𓆏at’s his strong suit, how competitive he’s always been with everythin🍨g.”

Marquez admitted that his competitiveness extended to intentio꧅nally trying to scupper Pedrosa’s bike by spreading ♈false opinions.

“Back then we had a great bike and everything worked well,” he said. “So if a replacement piece🐻 worked for him, then I didn’t like it [and I would say]: ‘Th💯is doesn’t work, I want this one!’

“‘I want this r🀅eplacement piece, since I’m leadin✱g! Don’t give him this!’

“That’s how it was.

“‘How about ✅this piece? You want to try it?’ But I didn’t want to. I just didn’t ꦿwant him to have it.

“It’s the kind of trick everyone pulls. People don’t talk about🐠 it.”

Their final two years together, where Marquez twice w𓄧on the championships, were more cordial, he claims.

“After 2015, 2016, everything calmed down an𓆉d we had a good, normal, teammates relationship,” Marquez said.

“After a while, I think you can learn to ๊accept 🐷the situation, right?

“It happens, and I’m sure it’ll eventually happen to mཧe too.”
