Lorenzo and Rossi were teammates at Yamaha but their spiky compꩲetitiveness was summed up by a controversial wall in their pit garage - designed to keep data separated but a symbol of their rivalry.

They won a combine𒅌d 10 championships in the premier class and fought memorable battles despite representing the same team.

“My relationship wit🌱h Rossi has improved a lot,” Lorenzo to💯ld DAZN. 

“Before we were two roosters in the same cage. When he left for Ducati the relationship was better, when he came back to Yama💖ha it was bad again. 

“Over the years he got better and he even invited me to the ranch, so now♌ it's different.”

Lorenzo, now 35, and Rossi, 43, have both left MotoGP behind and now race on four whe🌜els - throwing up the possibility that their rivalry could be𒀰 renewed.

“Right now we c💙ompete in different championships,” Lorenz🍃o said. 

“He is progressing very qu🌌ickly. It would be a dream. Everything is possible in life.”

The type of hostility that existed between them even spread to Rossi and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez - the Italian accused the Spaniard of intentionally aiding Lorenzo’s successful 2015 title bid🌄.

But today’s championship-chasing riders - 2022 champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia and 2021 champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo - battle with a more respectful demeanour. 

Lorenzo said: “Gradually, domin🐼ant riders with a very marked personaඣlity got to retire. Obviously, Valentino Rossi is one of them, but the others weren't too far away either. 

“People have to get used to these new riders. Fabio 📖Quartararo and Pecco Bagnaia don't have as strong a personality as we did a few years ago.”
