“It’s His Karma” Valentino Rossi Puts on Marc Marquez With Mocking 10-Words About His Moto on Fire at Indonesian GP

Valentino Rossi, MotoGP’s legendary figure, has reignited his long-standing rivalry with Marc Marquez in a controversial way, delivering a cutting 10-word remark after Marquez’s bike caught fire during the Indonesian GP. Rossi, who retired from MotoGP but remains actively involved in the sport, took the opportunity to mock Marquez’s misfortune with the biting comment: “It’s his karma for everything he’s done in the past.”

The incident occurred during the Indonesian GP when Marquez’s bike dramatically burst into flames mid-race, forcing the Spaniard to retire. While many sympathized with Marquez, Rossi’s comment added fuel to the fire, referencing their storied and often tumultuous history.

Rossi and Marquez’s rivalry is one of MotoGP’s most notorious, stemming from numerous on-track clashes and off-track disputes over the years. Rossi’s mocking remark appears to tap into the tension that has never fully dissipated between the two, with the Italian legend suggesting that Marquez’s recent bad luck is a form of karmic payback.

Fans of both riders have taken to social media to weigh in on the comment, with some supporting Rossi’s dig as a justified shot at his former rival, while others have criticized the remark as unsportsmanlike, especially given the dangerous nature of Marquez’s incident.

Marquez has yet to publicly respond to Rossi’s comment, but insiders suggest that the remark hasn’t gone unnoticed by the Spanish rider, who has been dealing with a challenging season filled with injuries and setbacks.

As the MotoGP community reacts to this latest exchange, the Rossi-Marquez rivalry continues to be a defining narrative in the sport, even after Rossi’s retirement. The mocking words have added another layer of drama to what was already a high-stakes race in Indonesia, keeping fans engaged in the ongoing saga between two of the sport’s greatest competitors.
