Valentino Rossi did not hold back in his criticism of Marc Márquez during a post-race interview at the Argentina MotoGP, following a controversial on-track incident. The legendary Italian rider firmly stated that Márquez’s aggressive riding style was not simply an error, but a deliberate action that caused tension among competitors and fans alike.

“It is not a mistake,” Rossi remarked after the race, referencing a specific moment where Márquez’s risky maneuver led to another rider being forced off the track. “He has done this before. It’s becoming a pattern, and it’s dangerous for everyone. These are not just racing incidents.”

Rossi’s sharp comments come after a heated race that saw Márquez involved in several close encounters with other riders, raising questions about his aggressive approach. While Márquez has a reputation for pushing the limits, Rossi believes that his rival has crossed the line too many times and needs to take responsibility for his actions.

The rivalry between Rossi and Márquez has a long history, marked by intense battles and off-track drama. Their contentious relationship began in 2015 with a notorious clash in Malaysia, and tensions have flared intermittently ever since.

Rossi continued to stress the importance of respecting fellow competitors, highlighting how Márquez’s aggressive tactics could lead to serious accidents. “We all want to win, but there are limits. If he continues like this, more riders will get hurt, and it won’t be just by chance.”

Márquez, meanwhile, defended his actions during the Argentina MotoGP, insisting that he was merely racing hard and that his moves were within the rules. However, Rossi’s remarks have added fuel to the ongoing debate about Márquez’s riding style and its impact on the safety of the sport.

The post-race drama has once again brought the intense rivalry between the two MotoGP legends into the spotlight, with fans and analysts divided over whether Márquez’s aggressive approach is part of racing or a cause for concern.
