Marc and his brother Alex took advantage Today






Instead of testing today, Marc and his brother Alex took advantage of the kind gift from HRC to Alex to test ride Marc’s MotoGP machine, in recognition of his World Title success, the first one for Honda in Moto3. The two brothers completed 12 exhibition laps on Marc’s two bikes, riding in tandem around the Valencia track.
As a reward for winning the Moto3 title on Sunday on Honda machinery, HRC allowed Alex Marquez to ride one of his brother Marc’s MotoGP™ title-winning Honda RC213V machines for several laps of the Ricardo Tormo circuit. Marc rode alongside his sibling on one of his spare prototypes
‘Marquez brothers ride 12 laps together on MotoGP bikes’ was the headline in Spanish daily sports newspaper AS, as they also informed their readers that Valentino Rossi had ridden alongside the Spanish pair for several corners. ‘Kings and Wise Men’ was Marca’s headline as they alluded to the Spanish gift giving tradition of Kings Day.
Meanwhile, newspaper Mundo Deportivo focuses on the unusual sight of the two Marquez brothers riding on Honda RC213V bikes both liveried with the number 93, while another daily Spanish newspaper Sport ran the headline, ‘Marc and Alex together in the last test of the year’.
Italian publication La Gazzetta dello Sport, noted that seeing the Marquez brothers on track together seemed like a ‘vision from the future’. Also in Italy Motosprint captioned a photo ‘MotoGP Marquez: Seeing double!’
In France, Sport-Bike enthused, ‘Marc Marquez offers his brother Alex a course in MotoGP riding.’
