Which of Marc Marquez or Valentino Rossi takes precedence over the other over an entire career and on the track? Answering this question leads to opening Pandora’s box since reflection will necessarily mix the passion that the end of the 2015 season in MotoGP definitely brought into this complex equation. But if we will probably never be able to decide, except to refer to this raw data that the Spaniard has eight titles and the Italian nine, at the very least the comparison is allowed. Marco Melandri, a competition veteran, did it. And he even pushes the reasoning to Pecco Bagnaia.
Marco Melandri was world champion in Grand Prix, vice-world champion in MotoGP and even in WSBK, then he entered the ranks before practically being forgotten. But his career gives him the legitimacy to talk regarding his peers, those of his time and also those of today.
A delicate exercise that he nevertheless accomplished on the site planetwin365 where he talked regarding Marc Marquez as Valentino Rossi, but not only. He starts with Marc Marquez, who impressed him from the first laps in his wake…” The one who impressed me as soon as I saw him was Marc Marquezin 2015. I realized that he had pushed the limits with his way of riding ».
Marco Melandri : « Marc Marquez was using his body like I’ve never seen anyone do before »
He explains : ” he was using his body like i had never seen anyone do before “. Certainly, but to last, Valentino Rossi had another talent, which is not to be found in the realm of pure speed: ” it’s more for the way he always got the result, in all conditions. In the dry, in the wet, in intermediate, he was always among the best ” assures the native of Ravenna.
And today’s World Champion who is I’m sorry Bagnaia ? Marco Melandri also has it right: ” Pecco Bagnaia is the most complete driver. In the lead, he is the most consistent, he is aware of his strength and his speed because he won last year and has the best bike, rides it better than anyone else ».
