Marc Marquez was just a 15 year old boy when Valentino Rossi made his epic dirt track pass on Casey Stoner plunging down Laguna Seca's Corkscrew turn in 2008.
He never forgot it and, when he got the chance to race against Rossi fro the first time at the California track, gave medicine back to the Doctor. For his part, Valentino looks like he took it with his usual good humor.
Marquez won the race over Stefan Bradl and Rossi.
There's a new Doctor in town.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how a pass made off the circuit is legal. Does this mean cutting corners to pass is legal in MotoGP? In F1 you give the place back or get a penalty.
ReplyDeleteGotta love Rossi's attitude. That congratulations at the end seemed sincere.
