After an unbearably tense finale, the Italian was kicking himself after he threw away the title amid accusations of conspiracy
“Márquez would prefer Lorenzo to win.” So said a frustrated Valentino Rossi, leading the 2015 MotoGP standings and gunning for world championship number 10, lighting a fuse that would eventually result in his title aspirations disintegrating before his eyes.
