Eight-time World Champion Marc Marquez evolves in the spotlight but it is also in the shadows that he reveals his dimension. The proof with this approach towards the bereaved mother of Hugo Millan who was, until this terrible race in Jerez in Supersport300 which took away from us Dean Berta Viñales, the last miner steeped in talent who died of his passion on the track...

The news comes from Mowmag and she reveals that after the MotoGP Grand Prix in Aragon, Marc Marquez sent a special package to the family ofHugo Millan and more particularly to his mother Mrs. Ana Belén Gracia.

It will be recalled thatHugo Millan is a very young driver who died following a racing accident during the Talen Cup, at the age of 14 years, on the Aragon MotorLand circuit. Precisely the circuit where, a few weeks later, Marc Marquez fought until the last round with Pecco Bagnaia, overcoming arm pain and finishing on the podium.

We now discover that he had additional motivation. Marc Marquez explained it, not publicly, but to Ms. Ana Belén Gracia with the contents of this package that the delivery man had just given her: there was the trophy won in Aragon, the bottle of Prosecco uncorked on the podium and the cap that Marc Marquez wore during the awards ceremony.

And there was also a message, written with a marker on the trophy: “ When the whole MotoGP family greeted Hugo on the Aragon circuit, I promised myself to do my best to try to win or get on the podium so I could dedicate the result to the family. Rest in peace, champion"
