Now, speaking with El Periodico, Marquez has touched on this rivalry again, but has moved to effectively lay it to rest.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the things I\u2019ve learned throughout my racing career is to have respect for my rivals,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the track, everyone tried to do their best, and any situations or accidents you or others cause are always involuntary, because we all push ourselves to the limit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fans appreciate this spectacle, but it has its risks.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany times a rider, with adrenaline pumping, makes a mistake, gets penalised and that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things I\u2019ve learned is that it\u2019s difficult to live with resentment; it\u2019s not possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
The bad blood between Marquez and Rossi still has its flash points among fans, with the Ducati rider booed during the podium ceremony after winning the sprint at Mugello this year.<\/p>\n
But there has been a shift in fan perception, with Rossi receiving a loud chorus of boos during the end-of-season MotoGP awards gala during a video segment.<\/p>\n
After injuring his shoulder in a collision with Aprilia\u2019s Marco Bezzecchi at the Indonesian Grand Prix, Marquez had to call for calm among his fans after the Italian faced social media abuse for the incident.<\/p>\n
Marquez dominated the 2025 season with 11 wins and 14 sprint victories, though was forced to sit out the final four rounds following the Indonesia incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n
