This fallout led to Rossi and Marquez colliding during the Malaysian Grand Prix, for which the former was sent to the back of the grid for the Valencia finale having accumulated enough penalty points for this punishment under the system used at the time.<\/p>\n
Rossi would lose the 2015 title to Lorenzo, with the seven-time champion repeatedly claiming to this day that Marquez robbed him of the crown – a conspiracy that has also been adopted by some fans.<\/p>\n
Marquez continues to be booed by a small section of fans at Italian MotoGP<\/a> rounds, something Ducati hit back against earlier this year at Mugello<\/a>.<\/p>\n Marc Marquez told to apologise by ex-MotoGP rider Marc Marquez in 2015<\/p>\n In an interview with Fanpage, Loris Reggiani – who competed in the premier class in 1994 and 1995 without scoring a podium – insisted Marquez should apologise.<\/p>\n Reggiani, it’s worth noting, doesn\u2019t specify what Marquez should apologise for.<\/p>\n \u201cI was also a fan of his,\u201d he began.<\/p>\n \u201cIn fact, I preferred him to Valentino. I really liked that this young man had arrived in MotoGP and had put everyone in their place with his incredible talent.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd that remains, it’s impossible not to recognise it, but Marquez the man has lost a lot.<\/p>\n \u201cI believe [if] they boo him, he should just apologise, even 10 years later. An apology to motorcycling and his fans.\u201d<\/p>\n In the same interview, Reggiani believes Rossi deserved the 2015 title over Lorenzo.<\/p>\n \u201cHe [Rossi] had been in the lead from the first to the penultimate race,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n \u201cLorenzo won more, but Rossi was more consistent.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd Jorge lent himself a bit to this game, saying it even after Valencia.<\/p>\n \u201cIf those last three races hadn’t happened, or if they had gone as they should, I’m convinced that Rossi would have won the title at the age of 36.\u201d<\/p>\n Subscribe to our MotoGP Newsletter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Italian MotoGP rider Loris Reggiani says Marc Marquez should make \u201can apology to motorcycling and its fans\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":40491,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,4280,806,805,803,804,85,20420],"class_list":{"0":"post-40490","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-motosport","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-marc-marquez","11":"tag-motor","12":"tag-motor-sports","13":"tag-motosport","14":"tag-motosports","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-valentino-rossi"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40490"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40490\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Marc](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/gng_637267_hires.jpg\")
