‘You’re no longer legend’ Marc Marquez’s girlfriend Gemma Pinto shocking speech to Valentino Rossi after FIM sanction to strip him of title
Gemma Pinto, the girlfriend of MotoGP star Marc Marquez, has added to the controversy surrounding Valentino Rossi’s recent fall from grace. Following the International Motorcycling Federation’s (FIM) decision to strip Rossi of his “LEGEND” title due to unsportsmanlike comments directed at Marquez, Pinto reminded Rossi of his tarnished legacy.
In a shocking and blunt statement, Pinto reportedly said: “I’m no longer a legend. It’s a reminder that respect in this sport matters more than anything, even your titles.” The comment was seen as a harsh rebuke to Rossi’s recent behaviour, which led to the FIM’s decision to revoke his honorary status.
The rivalry between Rossi and Marquez has been one of the most heated in MotoGP history, and Pinto’s public statements have added fuel to the fire. By addressing Rossi’s fall so directly, he has highlighted the importance of maintaining professionalism and respect within the sport.
Fans have been quick to react, with some supporting Pinto’s stance, while others feel the rivalry between Rossi and Marquez has crossed personal boundaries. Rossi has yet to publicly respond to Pinto’s comments, but the MotoGP community remains divided over the implications of the FIM sanction and the ongoing feud between these two iconic figures in the sport.
As the situation continues to develop, Pinto’s statement reinforces the growing feeling that personal behaviour and sportsmanship are being increasingly scrutinised in the world of MotoGP.
