Honestly, paddock politics like this isn't my strong suit. But for someone who's laid everything bare from corner entry to exit, I get why Rossi never fouled the water. Marquez wouldn't even go easy on his own teammate — that's just a different kind of strength.

Knew Marquez was a genius, but I had no idea about this side of the story.

Having watched the Rossi/Pedrosa era live, this contrast rings true to me.

Feels a bit too romanticized. Brivio was on Yamaha's side back then, so is he really neutral here?

Apparently Marquez admitted it himself, so this isn't just speculation.

Learning Rossi was this honest all along just made me love him more.

Still, everyone bends the rules a bit to win — is it fair to single out the Pedrosa thing?
