MotoGP: Álex Márquez gives himself courage by beating his brother Marc

In 2020, they will be teammates within the Repsol Honda team which therefore assumes the originality of fielding two brothers under the same colors. Identical tones, but a difference in level nonetheless since the reigning Moto2 World Champion will start in a MotoGP category dominated by the now eight-time crowned champion since 2013. 2015 vintage excepted! The younger child will need strong morale to avoid being crushed by the older one. But he still manages to defeat him. The proof…

It's good for morale ! On the eve of a resumption of tests at Sepang which will take place from February 7, and even 2 for Alex Marquez, as a beginner, you need to sharpen your physical fitness and toughen your mind. These are exactly the reasons why the brothers Marquez took part in a foot race called Fita 973. The figure is not trivial, bringing together both the entry numbers of Marc andAlex Marquez. But it is also the regional code of the province of Lleida, where this event with a difference in altitude of 500 meters took place.

álex finished sixth with a time of 1h21 over the 14,5 kms while Marc settled for twelfth place with a performance in 1h26. It will be recalled that the latter is recovering from shoulder surgery and has thus demonstrated that he is on the right track to show himself in full possession of his means for the Malaysian deadline.

Otherwise, Alex Marquez was very busy last weekend. In fact, before the mountain race, on Saturday evening, in Cervera, there was a meal with his fan club, where the Moto2 champion was once again duly celebrated under the well-known motto “Winner shot”. “ Thank you all for this special evening”, commented the 23-year-old young man. Marc Márquez had held his fan club dinner at the same location before Christmas.
