Having fallen heavily with Alvaro Bautista on the opening lap of the prev🌳ious Italian MotoGP, Valentino Rossi was unimpressed when the Spaniard ꦏtried an 'impossible' pass on the first lap of Sunday's Catalunya race.

Bautista slid off after attempting the out-braking move at the end of the back straight, with Rossi taking a wide lin🍨e to avoid contact.

"In Mugello he did a mistake and f**ked my home grand prix and we could have had big pain [in the accident]. But one mistake can happen... He said he didn't see me," Rossi told the assembled media inside the Yamaha hospitality on Sunday even🔯ing.

"But doing the same🎃 at the next race, another time with me, is very stupid I think. He tried an impossible braking. Fortunately I released the brake and went wide, otherwise we would have crashed together again today. It was a useless overtake, because I was a lot faster than him and we were in the right position.

"For me, when Bautista sees me, Lorenzo and also the other top guys he becomes a little bit crazy. Last year with Lorenzo [at Assen], in Valencia 2011 with me and Mugello with me.ꦏ It is like he has to demonstrate that he is bett🔴er than us.

"What happen๊ed today, can happen [in racing]. But two times in a row - another time with me - is not very clever I think."

Rossi went on to finish in fourth while Bautista, who began the race from fourth on the grid, was unable to re-join🀅 after the fall.
