Rossi's statement
edit: English just started (am summarizing) - they are taking a question or two in Italian, then switching to English
Relationship w/ Marquez is last problem
Rossi is okay, but it is a bad situation, Marquez has never had respect for rivals
Mistakes are one thing, but he made the same with Vinales, Dovi all weekend, Rossi, he hit four riders in the race.
Marc bumps people in a specific way to make himself not crash, but gives the chance for others to crash
Marquez tries to make other riders scared. Rossi is scared when Marquez is close because he feels like he will hit him
When Rossi saw Marquez was 1 second faster than him on the board, he wasn't worried, he knew he would be passed. But he pushed me purposely in the corner instead of overtaking elsewhere.
Rossi has zero relationship with Marquez after 2015 because it is easier.
Respect is one thing, but Marquez isn't just being disrespectful he is being dangerous. He did it to Espargaro too.
If everyone will become like Marquez, it will be a demolition derby
Race Direction has a big responsibility to do something because the sport doesn't work when one rider constantly does this
Rossi wants to speak with Race Direction because he feels like they aren't doing enough to enforce safe riding
Rossi is very upset because he isn't having fun, Marquez isn't just aggressive, he is dirty
When Marquez came to the box to apologize, it was PR not sincere. He didn't have the balls to come alone. (my comment, Valentino, this same thing could be said about you and Stoner, not sure you want to go down that road...)
Why doesn't Race Direction talk to Marquez? It's one thing to bounce off one time, but five times in a weekend is too much
End of Rossi's comments
Marquez's statement
Marquez is doing four questions in Spanish right now, then he will switch to English
It was a tricky race, I had a problem with the engine so I had to push it and luckily it ran. After that I didn't know what I needed to do. I asked the marshal pit lane or grid, but he didn't know, Another marshal pointed elsewhere and they left so I went to my place
I didn't understand the penalty, one marshal said I can go to the grid.
Then I started to push, biggest mistake was with Espargaro because I was four seconds faster so I didn't realize how fast I was coming, I tried to avoid contact and said sorry.
I went back two positions to be safe from the penalty, and started to push again.
With Valentino I didn't do anything crazy, you need to understand the track condition. There were wet and dry patches, I locked the front and we hit. I tried to say sorry.
Zarco hit Dani, Petrucci hit Aleix, others did similar things.

Alberto Puig's comments (Marquez's manager)
feed cut? I guess MotoGP won't broadcast that.
I'm out.
