The coldness between them is palpable and evident, and Márquez himself acknowledged this during his visit to the Cadena SER studios at Gran Vía, 32. "There's a point where whoever sees this table as black, sees it as black. Whoever sees it as white, sees it as white. And whoever sees it as brown, well, it's brown (...) Is he worried about me winning a tenth world title? I don't think so and honestly, I don't care what he thinks either. I'm interested in the people who can add value. External comments? Opinions, sensationalism, and the show also sell," Márquez began.
"We haven't seen each other again, we've crossed paths a few times at the circuits, I think it was in Austria, but nothing more. Ni sientes ni padeces. Would we greet each other cordially? No, I can't lie to you either. We each do our own thing. He does not need me. I don't need him. But motorcycling needs us both," added Márquez, who didn't want to add anything on the Malaysia incident 10 years ago when the Italian rider kicked him.
"Are there people who say there was no kick? Like I said before. The one who sees it as white, sees it as white. There's nothing more to say. We've all seen the pictures more than a thousand times," he stated.
