Mark MáAsk the pilot, we know. Ruthless, he strings together victories and titles like others do pearls, a real winning machine that his condition as an athlete exacerbates. But Marc Márquez is also an outstanding mechanic. A talent that he has been practicing since he started riding motorcycles, since he was very young, and that he developed during his motocross training. A slice of life that the now eight-time winner describes as follows…
Did you know ? Marc Márquez not only knows how to ride a motorcycle like no other. He also knows perfectly how it works, to the point of being able to repair it himself. Well, this is not for the Grands Prix but rather for his motocross training sessions. In comments relayed by Todocircuito, he declares thus: “ When I go off-road, I ride with my brother Álex and my fitness trainer Jose. My father also often comes to bring us the motorcycles to the circuit. Between all of us, we take care of the adjustment, and if something is broken, we look at how to fix it. »
« The advantage of going in a group is that if you need to fix something that I don't know how to do, Jose, Álex and my father can help me and together we solve the problem. Of course I also help my brother » adds Marc. “ I never train alone and I love working on the bikes. In a way, I am my own mechanic, I have no other! » assures the official Honda who makes this revelation: “ It's something I learned since I was little, I noticed what my father did, since he was the one who did the maintenance work. I have always been very clear, if I had not been a pilot, I would have liked to be in the motorcycle world as a mechanic »
But mechanic does not mean handyman... He admits thus: “ I tried to fix something at home, but given the results, I think it's best left to the experts! " He finishes : " advice to all those who want to devote themselves to mechanics: always have passion for what you do, that's the most important thing. Since my childhood, I have always been curious about motorcycles and interest in training. If you want to learn, the most important thing is to want to and have the will to persist. »
