Every year at the end of the season, the world's leading manufacturer organizes a Thanks Days weekend for its employees, from assembly line workers to MotoGP World Champions.
Tradition dictates that we strike a mallet on a drum, more or less synchronized, with a smile like Dani Pedrosa above, to mark the opening of this unique weekend.
Marc Marquez also willingly took part in the exercise, as seen in the video below:
