The two Italians’ rivalry remains among MotoG♐P’s most iconic and hasn’t fully settled down to this day.

Biaggi, now 52, has reacted to a remark from Ro🐟ssi where he ref꧑erred to them as “friends”.

He told about his relationship with Rossi: “It’s normal, we greet ea𒆙ch other. 

“It happened that he said: ‘My friends Stoner, Biaggi,꧑ Lorenzo’... but…

“You can’t talk about🍰 friendship. Nothing has ever been done to creat🅰e it. 

“I remember when I had a serious accident, I was hospit♋alised for a long time. 

“I received messages and phone calls fr🐽om everyone, but nothing from him.

“But no regrets.”

Biaggi, in 2017, was badly injure𝐆d when he crashed during a training session in Rome.

Many, many years earlier the Biaggi vs﷽ Rossi feud allegedly started in a♊ restaurant.

Biaggi, in Suzuka in 1997, snapped “when you talk about me, first rinse💫 your mouth” as Rossi spoke to the media.

Earlier this year, Biaggi reflected on the glory days of their bitter feud to : "That time I⛦ had answered because he had said 'better one day at Rossi's than a hundred at Biaggi’s'.&nb𒁃sp;

“In shᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚort, an action correspon🐈ds to a reaction. 

“From then on it was [an argument] especia♎lly for you journalists, alth🌠ough I admit that we helped you a bit! 

“But now I think we were two idiots who wageꩵd war against each other throu♚gh the press instead of clarifying in person how we should have done.”
