Will Marc Marquez be present at the press conference which begins today at 17 p.m.?
This is the question of the day, or rather that of the last few days, since the story begins Monday morning, when the Honda pilot goes to Barcelona airport to take his flight to Argentina via London.
There, his flight is delayed by several hours because of the bad weather conditions prevailing at Heathrow, which encourages number 93, out of caution, not to take the risk of finding himself stranded in the English capital.
Back home, then, for a flight that seems less eventful via Madrid on Tuesday at the end of the day.
Unfortunately, on Tuesday evening, again due to an airline delay, Marc Marquez and his staff missed their connection in the Spanish capital and found themselves forced to spend an unplanned night there.
Boarding the Airbus A11 of the Iberia flight on Wednesday at 50:340 a.m., they landed yesterday evening at 19:45 p.m. local time in Buenos Aires, too late to take the last charter set up by Dorna to connect the 1000 kilometers separating the Argentine capital from Santiago del Estero, the airport that serves the Termas de Rio Hondo circuit, 70 kilometers away.
At the moment in Argentina, Marc Marquez is in a real race against time to try to be present at the press conference which will begin at noon local time, or 17 p.m. in France.
If he didn't succeed, Dorna would probably not apply the penalties provided for in the event of absence from media events, but the bookmakers nevertheless give him a good chance of success...
Response in an hour and a half!
