Rossi says relationship with Marquez “can never be recovered”

Yes it does.
At Motegi VR was not in with a chance at the world championship and decided to race with the then championship leader and in fact impacted him.
Your line of statement is that MM who was not in with a chance at the championship allegedly raced against Rossi who was in with a chance at the title (this statement was also said by many who support Rossi's view)
Or is your assertion that MM's alleged antics have nothing to do with the championship standings but instead were his reaction to a perceived wrong?
So just because you have power are you saying it does not absolve you from making mistakes?
There were mistakes made at Sepang ............ the interpretation of the rule was not one (and remember, VR himself admitted as much)

To quote you "that's ........" Rossi drew alongside and slammed into Lorenzo when no contact was necessary at all. Lorenzo had something like a 69 point lead in the championship and Rossi knew the only realistic way he'd catch him was by him being injured. Unsurprisingly Lorenzo and the whole Yamaha team were furious and Rossi was roundly chastised.
It was cheating not racing and Rossi knew it despite saying "if I'm not allowed to race I may as well stay home"
Funnily enough in 2015 Rossi decides that other riders shouldn't race title contenders.
That's ........ from a cheat and no mistake.

RD made the wrong decision. What VR actually did and did not do, and it's all recorded for anyone to see, did not break any rules. They made an interpretation of the facts under pressure.
In Motegi VR was racing to get the best result for himself, which is what he is supposed to do. MM rode against his own interests purely to interfere with another rider.
Not that difficult to understand.

They were just racing each other hard. Nothing to do with 2015.
Wrong again - the rules are clear - you cannot ride in a negligent and/or deliberate fashion that places another rider in danger - you may not like it but by the very FACT that Marquez fell, irrespective of the cause means that he had been placed in a dangerous position by what Rossi admitted was a deliberate action of himself (Rossi) in running Marquez wide.
Rossi may not have intended Marquez to fall, but that is beside the point of the rule ............ besides, the CAS found that RD followed correct process whilst making the decision
The only pressure was from the hordes of yellow with an online petition to reinstate Rossi and/or to ask riders to 'make way' as well as perhaps some pressure from HRC which seemed duly ignored (ie. the data allegations)
As for Motegi, BS, Rossi rode like a total .... because he had issues with Lorenzo - simple
Now, how this compares to MM is that in your world MM rode deliberately to impede Rossi and you have determined by your infinite investigation that this did in fact cost Rossi the championship. Is that correct?
Now, assuming that to be correct then did Marquez not achieve the best result for himself (using again, your assertions) and thus if Rossi is entitled to race to achieve the best result for himself and in doing so to impede another rider, than surely Marquez is entitled to the same priviledge (aghain, all if your assertion is correct)
Besides which, if Rossi rode for himself then he is a selfish rider given that it was his TEAM MATE that he hit and his team mate who was a chance of winning his first world championship in MotoGP and a championship for his team, the same as Rossi's team. Should not it be expected that Rossi should ride for the team?
Why not, we have all been repeating ourselves to you time and again and yet you seem to just rehash the standard yellow mass lines .......
By the way, when the wife got home she made comment that she walked in found you had already taken care of business - something about 'beating off guys in an internet forum' or something

Everything to do with it. Rossi was racing in a manner that could impact on Lorenzo's championship which he himself had no realistic part in.
In Sepang Marquez did the same thing and Rossi invoked his "unwritten rule" where a person not involved in a title battle should not race a title contender.
GET IT?
I call ........ on Rossi and his unwritten rule.
As far as Rossi in Motegi his intention was clearly to have Lorenzo off, he raced dangerously and far more aggressively than Marquez, his hate for Lorenzo was intense as Lorenzo was a kid beating him, when he believed his team mate was supposed to be a good boy and follow him home.
Try taking the yellow tinted shades off
Hey, you repeated yourself
Are you 12 or something

Rossi rode to finish ahead of Lorenzo to the best of his ability. He raced hard. In Sepang, MM slowed down, letting himself be passed by JL without resistance in the process, and proceeded to harass VR for 4th position when he had the pace to be at the front with Dani, at least. In PI he slowed down to hold AI and VR some of the time, enough to make them finish behind JL. In Valencia he slowed down to avoid passing Lorenzo.
Yeah, it's the same isn't it?

In Sepang Marquez didn't have any pace to go with Dani, he was struggling with front tyre grip and a full tank. Even in qualifying he almost crashed due to losing the front. Dani is much smaller and rides totally differently. On this day his style suited the track.
In Valencia Lorenzo set the lap record and circulated at this pace throughout. Marquez never slowed as he was struggling to stay with Lorenzo, he was mindful of making a lunge and taking out Lorenzo as he was warned not to by race direction following Rossi invoking his "unwritten rule".
Care to talk about the unwritten rule?
