Danilo Petrucci once apologised to Marc Marquez on the podium for ♎Italian fans booing him.

ꦉPetrucci won the Italian MotoGP at Mugello💞 in 2019 ahead of Marquez and Andrea Dovizioso.

Marquez was inundated by boos from local fans who 𝓀had not forgotten his rivalry with Valentino Rossi.

This season, Marquez was b༒ooed after winning in Misano - when Pecco Bagnaia came to his aid.

“It's not part of this sport to do this,” Petrucci said about the boos to&🌳nbsp;.

“Because it means forgetting that a rider is risking ✨his life when he g🐽ets on a motorbike.

“I'm sorry, and it makes me 💞a little angry, that after so many years we still go back there. 

“Because I can understand, and I fulꦬly understand, the two protagonists, given that for them it will remain an open page as long as they live.

“But I don✅'t understand t👍hose who were, after all, just a spectator in this story. For some, that's enough, right?

“The b💮ooing of Marc Marquez, like anyone else, is unacceptable, really bad stuff.

“When I won ෴at Mugello with the Ducati, Marc was on the podium like me.

“I'll tell you a background storꦦy: if you look at the images there's a momen🔯t when I get close to his ear.

“Well, I was apologising to him for what I felt.

“I felt ashamed, even thou💫gh I was drunk with j♌oy at that moment.

“Yes, I apologised to him. Those whistles🌃 are what I would erase from that unforgettable day for me.

“This only happens in Italy, elsewhere the riders ar💎en’t whist🗹led. Never.”

That expression of negativity has followed Ma൲rquez in Italy, even though he now represents an Italian manufacturer.

Bagnaia gestured for fܫans to stop boꦜoing him at Misano this year, then later condemned the booing.

“I really appreciated Pecco'𒐪s gesture on the Misano podium and I really hope it was the last time,” Petrucci said.

“Also because if they think they can intiꦉmidate Marc Marquez with whistles they don't understand that you just charge so🦩meone like that more.

“They give him a few tenths while whistling…”
