SEPANG: Italian veteran Valentino Rossi created a stir in the pre-race press conference when he accused out-going MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez of helping title rival Jorge Lorenzo.

Rossi arrived in Sepang for the penultimate round of the MotoGP championship with a reduced 11-point lead over his Yamaha team-mate Lorenzo after finishing fourth in the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix in Phillip Island last Sunday.
