Valencia 2013: Marc Marquez is asked about his best victory that year as well as about Valentino Rossi's season

#marc marquez #rosquez #// #4693 #big element of marc's 2015 head loss is that my man did not expect he'd be losing to valentino over the course of a full season #'we can say that he's fighting' bud thought vale had a terminal case of being washed #him and everyone else!! and it's kinda a different dynamic right like it's lovely to have your idol paying attention to you but!! #he's not the main competition and you're beating him 9/10 times. flattering and fun and he's super nice about it too <3 #but then you get to 2015 and vale's drawing back because he's in Title Fight Mode and marc's suddenly having his own ego crisis #which is how you get him massively failing the cool girl test in assen. one thing to be learning from your idol #it's quite another for him to teach you a lesson
