Chico Lorenzo takes clear stance in Marc Marquez v Valentino Rossi debate
“When Valentino arrived he had no such rivals..."

Chico Lorenzo has made it clear who he rates as the greatest rider in♚ MotoGP histไory.
The debate - which usually comes down to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez or 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valentino Rossi - divides fans.
Chico’s son Jorge was in the middle✃ of their nastiest episode, and is a MotoGP legend in his own right.
But Chico has justified his belief that Marquez is the best ev✃er, and is greater than Rossi.
"When Valentino Rossi arrived in 500cc he was wiꦇth the same bike as Mick Doohan,” he told&nbsꦐp;.
“And he was with the same rivals as Doohan, who haꦆd won for five y🐼ears against his rivals.
“When Marquez arrived he was up against Lorenzo, Dani Pedrosaღ, Valentino Ros💞si - that is, riders who are in the 10 best in history.
“When Valentino arrived he had no such riva🎶ls, no one. He had Gibernau, Capirossi, Biaggi, Melandri..."
Rossi is certainly MotoGP’s most famous face, and is now entering his fourth year post-retir🥀ement.
His tally of nine world championships could be equalled by Marquez, his🍰 eternal foe, this season.
♑Marquez is jumping onto a factory Ducati which is a very different beast to the bike that Ros❀si failed to tame in his own ill-fated stint.
Jorge Lore🍷nzo’s father has, however, warned that Marquez faces competition for the 2025 title from one rider.
Chico believes that Pecco Bagnaia is 🅷the only man guaranteed to put up a fight.
“Because Jorge Mart🅰in is at Aprilia,” Chico explained.
“I think Martin is a rider who is at the same level as Marquez, but with Aprilia we still don't know if it will go well or not💙.
"I think it's Bagnaia, Marquez and Martin if Aprilia is good, I thinౠk Martin can be in the top three."
