Lorenzo and Rossi were notoriously separated by a wall in the Yamaha garage that they shared - a symbol of an uneasy relationship as they battled for MotoGP dominance.

Rossi ended his career as a seven-time premier class champion, Lorenzo racked up three titles - the most infamous of which was in 2015, when Lorenzo took advantage of a controversial clash between Rossi and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez.

“I was looking for that rivalry, because having an enemy motivated me,” Lore🍎nzo told DAZN about Rossi.

"Valeꦿ and I didn't fight on track in 2015. Although the rivalry was felt. 

“Sometimes I won, other times he won, but the competition was noticeable in the en🎀vironment until the end.

“It was chewed up🎐 by the media. I said something, he did to😼o, I replied... 

“In the press it 💛was said that we did not get along and that we did not speak to each other." 

Loren📖zo explained an incident where, ahead of the season-finale race in Valencia, he approached a journalist to request a specific question was asked to irritate Rossi.

"At the airport I told 🍎her that at the press conference she had to ask me if Valentino deserved the title,” Lorenzo said. 

“For me it would not have 🧸been deserved. I wanted to put pressure on him to feel inferior. 

“I also created that rivalry through the press."

Lorenzo also spoke about his rivalry with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Dani Pedrosa: "We were both Spaniards, I remember that in the Spanish press there were more than 250 people talking ﷽about MotoGP. 

“In🌱 2003, when we crossed paths 🔥in the paddock, Dani didn't even look at me, we didn't say goodbye, neither with him nor with Alberto (Puig). 

“We went to Malaysia, he won the championship, in that ra💎ce I finished thi𝔍rd. And in that moment of euphoria between Alberto and Dani, we talked to each other. 

“Then came the🌠 race in Australia, and we never spoke to each ✅other again."
