Marc Marquez changed his stance as Valentino Rossi began to struggle in MotoGP.
Marquez will not be satisfied with beating Rossi’s records.Said ex-rival Pol Espargaro, who knows him closely.
His countryman spoke in Matt Oxley’s Marc The Magnificent book about how Rossi’s attitude towards riding changed the moment he started fighting in MotoGP in 2013.
“It was funny, because when Marc was fighting with me in Moto2, he was doing these things to a lot of riders, that brutality, he was taking guys out,” he said. I remember, Casey (Stoner), Valentino (Rossi), (Jorge) Lorenzo and other MotoGP guys.
“When asked about Marquez, they didn’t complain (about the ride). Everyone said: ‘This is racing! Then, when Marc jumped to MotoGP, he started doing the same things because he was told by the big guys that what he was doing (in Moto 2) wasn’t bad.’
“Then when he started fighting with the big guys, they started complaining, but it was too late! We finally accepted that he was riding and if you want to fight with him, you should too.”
Rossi’s ‘favourite’ battle was Jorge Lorenzo.And even if they put on a show for the fans, it’s not always exactly what they remember.

What did Marc Marquez do that upset his MotoGP rivals the most?
With age, Marquez seems a little more stable. He’s not as aggressive on the road as he once was, but he’s still able to have the same levels of success.
Being hurt as a child was an afterthought. He’s been through so much now, it’s normal to play with his mind.
The daring move that once haunted his rivals is no longer commonplace today, and it shows how far the style of horsemanship has evolved.
In those glory years with Rossi, he may have crossed the line a few times, but it’s a sign of the direction modern MotoGP is heading. It changed forever and everyone should embrace it.
