168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Lorenzo won the championship that year in the season-finale, a controversial race where era-defining r𓆏ivalries🔯 boiled over.

Rossi needed to finish second to secure the title for himself but, while battling away in fourth, found his arch-nemesis 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez purposefully blocking his path and d🥂enying him another accolade.

"I'm a bit sad that I didn't win the 10th title," ღRossi was quoted by .&n♔bsp;

"Especially ▨because I think I deserved it because of my level and my speed. 

“I missed the title twice aꦜt the last race of a season. That's why I think I deserved a 10th."

"It is what it is. I don't think I can complain about the over🌞all balance of my career."

As well𒉰 as his 2015 heartbreak, Rossi fell short at t🥀he last race of the 2006 season in Valencia. Rossi fell, and eventually finished 13th, so missed out to Nicky Hayden.

The Itali💃an, now 43, won seven premier class championships wi🌳th Honda and Yamaha, plus a 250cc and two 125cc titles.

His earliest prizes, with Aprilia at 125cc, meant that the legendary Italian did succeed with a team from his home🐷 cou🍨ntry.

Rossi on Ducati: "Regrets?"

But it was notor🎃iously a different story when Rossi swapped Yamaha for Ducati, in 2011 and 2012, for two awful years. He would never win another🗹 title, even when he returned to Yamaha, suffering a 12-year drought to end his career.

Rossi said about going to Ducati: "Regretting something in the sense of a decision I made? I🎀 honestly don't. 

“Of course, the time with D𒐪ucati was a di🔴fficult one for me.

"🔴It was a big challenge, me as an Italian rider on an Italian bike. If we had won, we would have♈ made history.”

Ducati, last year, finally crowned their first world champion since C🅷asey Stoner in 2007. Francesco Bagnaia became the first Italian premier class champion sin𝄹ce Rossi in 2009, too.

Rossi’s fingerprints were all over Bagnaia’s glory - he is a VR46 graduate - fiꦬnally a small piece of atonement for The Doctor.
