Valentino Rossi assured in an interview published by the Italian newspaper 'Corriere della Sera' that what Spaniard Marc Márquez did to him in the 2015 World Cup "is unforgivable" and that when he thinks about the races that year he continues to have "the same feelings "of frustration.

"Impossible (to forgive Márquez). What he has done to me is unforgivable. When I think back to those days I have the same feelings from that moment. And six years have passed. It seems difficult for me to change my feelings," he said.

The relationship between Rossi and Márquez was abruptly interrupted at the 2015 Malaysian Grand Prix, first by the statements Valentino Rossi made at the press conference prior to the start of the grand prix weekend and, subsequently, by the events that followed. They happened during the race and that ended with Marc Márquez on the floor.

From that moment and despite some timid attempt by the Spanish to "turn" the situation, the Italian champion always refused to "make amends" with him.

Rossi, who this year faces the twentieth season of his career in the premier class, in which he was seven times world champion, also referred to the serious injury suffered last year by Márquez, who underwent three operations on his right humerus.

"I think (Márquez's mistake) has been wanting to run again too soon after the operation and I have not quite understood why they allowed that to happen.

Dr. Costa

was a pioneer, he revolutionized the ways of recovery, reducing immobility times It showed a very important path, "he said.

"I think I can win the World Cup"

"Then after that quick return of Lorenzo in Assen in 2013, to avoid risks, Dorna set a series of limitations. With Márquez all limitations were skipped, it is not known why," he added.

"I am very sorry that he cannot run. If he will recover, something that is not known at the moment, he will come back strong as before. But Márquez has not been the strongest rival I have had," he concluded.

On a personal level, Rossi acknowledged that at 42 he has changed his way of seeing motorcycling and that in recent times he is also dedicating time to other life issues, such as politics.

However, he remains focused on being competitive to the maximum: "I run because I think I can win the World Cup. It is not an obsession. I would be happy to do well, get on the podium, be a protagonist, fight," he said.
