The rivalry between the two talented MotoGP riders ended in fisticuffs. To the amazement of the fans, the situation is now “degenerating”.
MotoGP races often become a ring where riders compete against each other. This time, however, the challenge between these two great champions seems to have abandoned metaphors in favor of a more pragmatic real boxing match.
Meanwhile, today’s MotoGP is still looking for the rider who will be able to keep up with everyone else during the 2024 championship, even if Jorge Martin seems to have built up a good leadIn fact, the challenge is increasingly open. Bagnaia wants to reconfirm himself as world champion and Marquez himself certainly won’t stand by and watch.
He was also on the track Dani Pedrosa as a wild card to test the KTM with which he has been collaborating since 2018 and this could not help but remind the fans of his battles on the track. The Spanish champion has won 3 titles under his belt (2 in 250 and 1 in 125). He also had his excellent results in MotoGP, but he was never able to go beyond third position at the end of the championship, especially due to the many extremely talented rivals with whom he often found himself competing.
MotoGP, Pedrosa and the clash with his historic rival
The Torero Camomillo has always had one strong rivalry with another Spanish rider, Jorge Lorenzo. The latter has won 5 titles, including two in the 250 class and three others in the queen class.
“Initially we didn’t talk to each other”Pedrosa stated some time ago during an interview (GPone.com). “In 2008 the King of Spain forced us to shake hands”Jorge Lorenzo then said regarding the rivalry with his compatriot. “We were too young to understand that two athletes from the same nation like us must absolutely not disrespect each other”the latter finally concluded.
Now, however, the champion has said goodbye to MotoGP in 2019 and has started and tried his hand at other disciplines. In a recent video shared on Instagram he showed the former driver with gloves while he threw punches. After that, he stopped and texted the KTM test rider: “Dani I invite you to the ring for a new challenge”.
Pedrosa’s response, however, was not long in coming: “Initially I thought it was a crazy idea, but now I’m fit and the temptation to punch you is high.” Fans and former colleagues are already ready to bet on one or the other, amidst general dismay at what could really happen.
