Repsol, the title sponsor of the official Honda team, is pulling out all the stops to capture our attention in this period of very little news…

Just a week ago, December 28, it was Innocents' Day in Spain, the equivalent of our first of April. For the occasion, the Iberian oil tanker indulged in a hoax a little too big to swallow...

“After the unforgettable vintage equipment of Valencia 2008, or the surprising nod to the world of superheroes of Aragón 2011 with the colorful creation of David Delfín, in 2021 we will be able to see Repsol riders wearing suits specially designed for alleviate the suffocating sensations of heat usual on circuits such as Austin, Mugello, Montmeló, Jerez, Motorland, Chang or Sepang.
The "summer" suit, which will not exempt drivers from wearing knee protection, will require meticulous and strict hair removal of the legs before and during each GP in order to avoid the aerodynamic resistance of the hair, which could subtract precious tenths from each round.
Likewise, and to avoid unforeseen events, at least during the first GP, a hair removal and skin care technician will join the usual team of mechanics, technicians, Michelin and Öhlins advisors, sports directors, families of riders, pilots, alumni pilots, press officers, sponsors, television operators, journalists and members of the organization. »

Returning to more serious matters, Repsol then showed Pol Espargaro dressed in the clothes of his new team before, a few hours later, having a Honda RC213V delivered directly to the teammate of Marc Márquez residing in Andorra.

Pol Espargaro : “Wow! I'm about to cry. I could never have imagined this. It’s crazy, it’s huge, it’s incredible! I worked really hard to get this issue here! »

A video is also available. We're not going to complain about this interest aroused by the arrival of the ex-KTM rider at Honda, but while we're at it we would also like information on his current teammate...
