JAKARTA - Repsol Honda racer, Marc Marquez, admits that he still has admiration for Valentino Rossi. The admiration is not based on the title that has been collected by The Doctor, but also on the personality of the Italian man.

The admiration arises for what Rossi has done for motorcycle racing, both on and off the track.

"What he has taught many riders is still there," said Marc Marquez, as reported by Speedweek.

"When he retired from MotoGP, I also said I was amazed and I'm not ashamed to say it."

"We don't all have to be friends, but that doesn't mean I don't admit what he has done," the 29-year-old continued.

Marc Marquez is actually a fan of Valentino Rossi. However, their relationship heated up after the incident that occurred in Sepang in 2015.

At that time, it was suspected that Rossi had deliberately dropped Marquez when the two were "dueling" on the track. Until now, the real facts have not been revealed.

But for sure, the incident made Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez not speak for a long time.
