On January 23 next year in Madrid, the official Honda troops will pull out all the stops to reveal their 2019 version team. And for good reason: no less than twelve world titles will be counted between the new official HRC pair. THE ancient glories will even be there to praise this couple from whom we expect a great show. But Marquez and Lorenzo have already met in the official box of the winged coat of arms to talk about the RC213V…
But at that time, they were not allowed to show themselves and speak... It was in fact November 20, 2018, the date when Jorge Lorenzo rode for the first time in Valencia on the Honda RC213V. A tolerance granted by Ducati on condition of being very discreet about the event. And indeed, these photos are only coming out now. Something to make your mouth water for next week’s ceremony…
The images immortalized during the first tests of the 2019 offseason were only published this Wednesday. In particular, we see the Majorcan in conversation with the members of the team, including his new team leader, Ramon Aurin. The latter was the team leader of Pedrosa in 2015 and 2016, before joining Miller et Nakagami. In 2019, he returned to the Repsol-Honda box.
Another important moment, visible in the photos, shows the first meeting of future teammates in the box. Lorenzo arrives to beat the world champion Marc Márquez. " I want to defeat him. And he will make the effort to put me in my place. This competition will stimulate the entire team “, announced the newcomer in his first interview as a Honda driver.
The new duo's first official joint appearance will follow in a week. On January 23, the presentation of the Repsol Honda team will take place at the Repsol headquarters in Madrid.
