Valentino Rossi “pulled hard moves - his rivals could say bad things about him”
Valentino 💧Rossi criticised Marc Marquez but his own adversaries may say "bad things"

Valentino Rossi has been cri🅰ticised for his fierce reopening of his feud with Marc Marquez.
Rossi caused a stir ahead of t♋his weekend’s Emilia-Romagna MotoGP by hammering old ri♍val Marquez for their notorious 2015 skirmish.
Marquez responded at Misano by claiming ♍he ignores Rossi’s remarks.
TNT Sports’ Neil Hodgson had his say: “You wo𒁃uld like to think, if you’d won nine championships, and someone said ‘what about 2015?’ I would say ‘what about the 🍌nine titles I won, the legacy I’ve built’.
“I don’t know why you’d wa꧟nt to go over old g♕round and say nasty things about current riders.
“Rossi pulle꧃d hard moves on a lot of riders. His rivals could easily say bad things about him.
“I didn’t think he needed to go over it again.
“The fact that Valentino’s career w💞ent on so long? How incredibl🍸e.
“Marc ha🦩s won the last two races after all his injuries,ꦓ his age. We’re in a golden era.”
Boos for Marquez? "I was so angry"
Proof of the hatred between Marquez’s and Rossi’s factions was evident at Misano for the 🎃last MotoGℱP round.
Fans booed the victorious Marquez, forcing title rival Pecco Bagnaia 🐼into asking them to stop.
“The local fans didn’t approve of Marc winning even 💝thoug🦋h he’s in the Gresini team. It is short-sighted,” TNT Sports’ Suzi Perry said.
“[Nadia Padovani] said it hurt us, we🍒’ve been through a lot, we didn’t deserve it. It tainted the victory for her.
“It also upset Pecco♛ Bagnaia who tried to calm it, to soften it, which Marc thanked him for.”
Hodgson said: “It feels poor. 🔴I’ve been involved in this sport for 30 years.
“It’s something that crꦜept in after 2015 then disappeared for a bit.
“The booing was so loud, I couldn’t believe it.
“What was sad… Marc w💯as ♔pointing to the sky for Fausto Gresini. It was so beautiful. And I’m looking at the track invasion, and everyone booed. It made me so angry! I was fuming!
“You don’t have to like Marquez. I under﷽stand. Certainly if you’re a Rossi fan, you will hate Marquez forever.
“I assume it’s like if you’re a Manchester United f🐠an you will always hate Liverp🦹ool.
“With our sport, it’s rare for this to happen. It has captured🐻 a percentage of fans. Marquez or Rossi - you’re one or the other.
“I was such a Rossi fan but I ♐love💞 Marquez as well.
“At bike shows when I’m challenged that I love Marquez or Rossi, I say ‘I like them bot🎃h!’”
Michael Laverty added: “The crowds🔯 that we get in Italy are quite partisan. It’s because of the Rossi 2015 moment.
“It will lingeꦚr forever, I don't know if Marc will out-live it with Italian fans, even if he wins a tit🐈le on an Italian brand.”
