In a dramatic escalation of the rivalry between Marc Márquez and Valentino Rossi, Gemma Pinto, Márquez’s girlfriend, issued a stern ultimatum to the legendary MotoGP rider over her recent prankster comments about Márquez, especially on the show’s climax “Crashquez”.
Pinto’s statement arises in response to Rossi’s repeated attacks on Márquez, which many consider Cruz’s line of sporting spirit. “Enough is enough,” declared Pinto in a recent interview. “Valentino needs to stop and hide behind his bromas. It is irrespectful and unnecessary. If you want to follow this way, I will tend to take back the cards in the matter.”
The “Crashquez” episode became a focal point of tension, with Rossi using it to refer to Márquez’s past incidents on the track, suggesting that Márquez’s aggressive driving style is a problem. Pinto argues that such comments not only harm Márquez’s feelings, but also affect them emotionally, especially in a difficult moment in his career.
The dispute between Rossi and Márquez has a defining narrative in MotoGP, characterized by fierce competence and personal animosity. Pinto’s intervention marks a significant moment, which defines his role and denounces what he considers to be part of a prominent figure in the sport.
The fans are divided over the situation, with some supporting the defense of Pinto Hacia Márquez, while others believe that Rossi has no right to express his opinions as the old champion. As the controversy unfolds, the MotoGP community is watching closely, eager to see how Rossi will respond to Pinto’s latest and whether this will intensify even further.
With the tension rising, whether Rossi will decide to tackle the theme or continue with his pranks, but one thing is clear: the rivalry between these legendary figures is now over.
