2015 Revisited: Assen - The SECOND big clash
Added 2025-05-02 10:04:37 +0000 UTCValentino Rossi and Marc Marquez had already run into each other once in the 2015 MotoGP season early on, and then Honda’s problems largely kept them apart… until Assen.
Val Khorounzhiy, Megan White, Simon Patterson and Matt Beer have a LOT to debate in the Dutch TT episode of MotoGP Revisited after a highly contentious final corner that prompted some very polarised views about the tactics of the riders involved.
An extraordinary nine-bike battle in the background and a destructive Jack Miller cameo also feature.
Comments
These are fun episodes. Being a Lorenzo fan I was hoping they both crashed out at the chicane. Marc was a devisive (i'll stop short of saying dirty) rider in the early years, probably still is. But looking back at these events 10 years older and wiser it doesn't dampen any of those feelings 😄

If Rossi tried to stay on track the contact would have been harder as MM doesn't make the corner. I'm not sure why MM looses his rag over this but from his comments you hear that hes got beef, maybe this is where he goes over the rule book.
