Who is Marc Márquez really? A true champion, there is no doubt about it. A winning machine, and he continues to prove it every time he climbs on his Honda. The dominant MotoGP rider at the top of the motorcycle track racing food chain could thus prove inaccessible and intimidating to his contemporaries. But the one who meets him closely in a Repsol Honda box for which he is responsible affirms that this is not the case. A personality like Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde that Alberto Puig describes as follows…
Alberto puig holds his box with an iron fist Repsol Honda, leaving no one to criticize him or question his choices, and even less so if the remarks come from someone who wears a Red shirt. A sort of intransigence which could spark sparks in the HRC stand where a formidable predator of victories and titles evolves in the person of Marc Márquez.
But that's not the case. On the contrary, the two men are a perfect fit, a relationship of interest cemented by the continuing stream of success. A dynamic such that it managed to convince the duo to extend their adventure until 2024. An unprecedented lease in MotoGP but which the eight-time World Champion explained as follows: “ I'm happy, for me it was the best option for the next five years of my career. We give 100% and want the same thing: Honda and I want to win without distraction. »
Alberto puig added on the subject at the microphone of Vanessa Georgoulas, working for speedweek : " he's a normal guy, but when it comes to racing he becomes an animal. It's that simple. Marc is really a very, very simple person. He's an anti-hero, he's not a superstar, but a real normal guy who behaves fairly normally towards others », persuades the 53-year-old from Barcelona about his protégé.
« This makes the work of everyone around him easier: his mechanics, his team manager, his trainer and also Honda benefit from it. We know that we are working with one of the best drivers in the world, so obviously we need to get the most out of him too ", ended Puig.
