In a sharp 10-word jab, Valentino Rossi angrily criticized Ducati for signing Marc Marquez, mocking the deal publicly

MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi has made headlines once again with a scathing 10-word statement criticizing Ducati’s decision to sign his long-time rival, Marc Marquez. In a sharp and pointed remark, Rossi publicly mocked the move, saying, “Marc and Ducati? Biggest mistake ever—cancel this ridiculous deal!”

Rossi’s jab came in response to Ducati’s recent blockbuster signing of Marquez, a move that has sent shockwaves through the MotoGP paddock. The Italian manufacturer, known for its competitive edge in recent years, secured Marquez in a deal that many expected to be a game-changer for both the rider and the team.

However, Rossi, who has a complicated history with both Ducati and Marquez, clearly disapproves of the arrangement. His biting comment, though brief, has sparked intense reactions from fans and analysts alike, with many debating the potential success—or failure—of Marquez’s new chapter with Ducati.

As the rivalry between Rossi and Marquez continues to simmer, this public mockery only adds more tension to the upcoming season. Whether Marquez can prove Rossi wrong on the track remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: this is far from the last word in the heated rivalry between two of MotoGP’s greatest names.
