Winter and its cold temperatures are not conducive to circuit training, at least for European drivers, and this is why they generally favor the practice of off-roading, or even some forays into the world. automobile, as we saw recently with Andrea Dovizioso and Valentino Rossi.
For off-road, this ranged from the personal Flat-Track circuit for VR46 Academy pilots, to the Superprestigio which will take place on Saturday December 17, including some MX training for the most daring such as Maverick Vinales.
The Marquez brothers have therefore just taken a step forward by lining up, next Sunday, for the 37th edition of the Segre Enduro, an event with a certain notoriety since it appeared in the World Championship until 2011, when of its last edition following various problems.
More than 130 drivers are registered for what is therefore a resurrection, and Marc Marquez (registered in the “Amateur” category) will have to complete a 3-kilometer loop 50 times on the handlebars of his Honda, a CRF 450X, while his brother Alex will use his CRF 250 to do two laps.
The start will be given at 9 a.m. from the “El Bosquet” circuit in Ponts.
