Twenty-six years ago♐ Biaggi approached Rossi, who he believed was bad🎀-mouthing him, and exclaimed: "When you talk about me, first rinse your mouth!”

Rossi has now named his win at Welkom in 2004 - his Yamaha debut, and where he battled Biaggi wheel-to-wheel - as amoꦺng his꧟ top three victories.

"They were good rivalries,ꦗ” Rossi reflected 🍌on the riders who he hated at the time. 

"All great riders, it's n💃ice to meet Casey Stoner, Jorge Lorenzo and also Biaggi today🉐. 

“You've been🧸 through things together that bind you. Iౠ all like them now..."

There was, notably, zero mention of a ce🌜rtain Marc Marquez.

Rossi was spea🦄king iꦏn Tavullia, his hometown, as he awarded the freedom of the city for his MotoGP accomplishments.

Biaggi, now 52, reacted to 🌄: "I heard Valentino's wordsꦕ, it was pleasant.

ꦡ“Age leads you to see rea💦lity with more roses and flowers. 

“I h🐲ave not yet had the pleasure of seeing Rossi again, but I'm sure it will happen. 

“Maybe in old age we will fiꦏnd ourselves drinkin🌠g a glass of wine together. 

“The more time passes, the moreℱ there is a desire to meet again and have a chat.”
