In 2017, Sete Gibernau returned to the paddock as a riding coach and manager of Dani Pedrosa. His rivalry with Valentino Rossi remains unforgotten. Vale argued with almost all opponents also next to the track. "Much enemy, a lot of honor", seems to be the motto of Valentino Rossi, who was always looking for enmities to tease out the last bit of motivation. Biaggi, Gibernau, Stoner, Lorenzo and Márquez are the little trees that the Italian loved to rub against.
To be in the lead for more than 20 years in the Motorcycle World Championship and still be in the lead at the 383rd Grand Prix, as in Valencia in 2018, requires a special kind of fuel. In Valentino Rossi come as a drive still meticulously cheros animosities compared to other drivers.
The Spaniard Sete Gibernau lost in 2005 for a protest of his team against Rossi in 2004. Rossi Yamaha team had cleaned damalks in Qatar the starting place, which contradicted the rules, so he was placed on the last starting position. Rossi then crashed while catching up. Gibernaus World Cup chances rose. But Rossi won the title anyway - in his first year with Yamaha. And Sete never won a race again.
In gratitude for the protest, Rossi punished the Spaniard Gibernau for years with disregard. And in 2005 he rammed last year's winner in the last lap of the Jerez GP in the finish line just inside, Gibernau had to make a trip to the gravel. Rossi won 8.6 seconds ahead of Gibernau, the fans angrily whistled the Italian and cursed him as a son of a bitch.
Against the Australian Casey Stoner it was permanent malice over divergent views on Ducati (Stoner was successful, Rossi not). The most intimate psycho chat with Rossi's teammate Jorge Lorenzo, 2008 came to the Yamaha factory team after two 250cc World Championship titles.
Rossi regarded the Spaniard as a troublesome intruder who his Supremacy threatened and therefore insisted on the exclusive Use of the victorious Bridgestone tires - Lorenzo got only the competitive product of Michelin. With that Lorenzo experienced some bad high sides. In addition, Rossi had set up a wall in the Yamaha box between himself and Lorenzo to prevent a transfer of ideas.
Sometimes Rossi did not even recoil from blows. After the 500 cc GP in Barcelona in 2001 (Rossi won 2.5 seconds ahead of Max Biaggi) there was a verbal battle with Biaggi on the stairs to the podium. The unerring Rossi brought with the helmet in his hand a skillful blow, Max suffered a bleeding laceration under the eye. "A mosquito bite," Biaggi later told the journalist.
In 2015, Rossi again fought his Yamaha team-mate Lorenzo for the title. At the third last race in Australia he was the view of the already chance Spanish World Champion Marc Márquez is his compatriot Lorenzo by inactive driving Sagittarius help. This view Rossi made on Thursday before the following Grand Prix in Sepang also told the surprised journalists. Today everyone at Yamaha knows that was the biggest mistake in Rossi's career.
Because Márquez then did in the race in Sepang really only the bare essentials, he stopped the Italian in every turn, drove almost a second slower than in training and let Dani Pedrosa win in peace, whereupon the annoyed Rossi Márquez on the dirty part of the track steered and the Spaniard crashed. Even a leg kick was blamed on Rossi, but he could not be proven beyond doubt. Nevertheless, Rossi was penalized in the final race of the season in Valencia on the last starting place - and he lost the title against Lorenzo by five points.
