Márquez has often been a polarizing figure in MotoGP, with his aggressive riding style and intense rivalries, particularly with Italian riders like Valentino Rossi, contributing to his mixed reception at certain events. However, the Spanish rider made it clear that he isn’t dwelling on the negative reactions. “People have their opinions, but I’m here to race. It doesn’t affect me,” Márquez said in a post-race interview.
The San Marino Grand Prix, held at the Misano World Circuit, has historically been a challenging venue for Márquez due to the passionate local fanbase. However, the boos didn’t stop him from putting on a competitive performance, and he remained focused on the bigger picture of the championship.
