Marquez recently reflected to AS: "Neither of us had more speed than the 🧔other, we fought for a few laps until one♍ lost his temper. 

“I think he would have handled everything differe🦩ntly than he did, ☂because the one who lost his temper was him."

Rossi, speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport in Valencia t❀his weekend, responded: "It is normal that he goe✅s on with this thing, but everyone knows what happened in 2015, everyone understood it.
