The remark, which has reignited the long-standing rivalry between the Marquez and Rossi camps, quickly spread through the paddock and sent MotoGP fans into a frenzy.

During a post-race interview, Alex Marquez didn’t hold back, saying, “Valentino’s just scared Marc will outshine him—he knows it.” The short but biting comment seemed to target Rossi’s continued involvement in the sport even after retirement and the ongoing comparisons between the two legendary riders.

The rivalry between Marc Marquez and Valentino Rossi is one of the most iconic in MotoGP history, with years of tension and on-track clashes. Alex Marquez’s statement adds a fresh layer of fuel to the fire, with many speculating that Rossi’s pride and legacy could be threatened by Marc’s continued success in the sport.

Rossi, who retired from MotoGP but remains influential through his VR46 Racing Team, has yet to respond to Alex Marquez’s comments. However, fans of both riders have taken to social media, with some defending Rossi’s legacy while others support the Marquez brothers and their quest to surpass Rossi’s records.

As the MotoGP season continues, this latest verbal sparring between the two sides adds another element of drama to the ongoing battles on and off the track.
