Marquez versus Valentino in Argentina

This battle between Marc Marquez and Valentino Rossi might be part of the MotoGP 2015 year in review.  In the Argentina GP’s closing laps, Spain’s reigning champion lost a clash with the Italian star and was unable to cross the finish line.

“I am convinced that there was zero intention on my part or Rossi’s to cause the accident. I have always said that Rossi is my idol, and a benchmark for us all. I have learned a lot from him over the years, and I am still learning.” – Marc Marquez, FoxSports.com (April 22, 2015)

Marquez rebounded to take second at the Spanish GP a week later but still trails Rossi by 26 points on the Championship standing.  The next race is in France on May 17, 2015.
