Repsol has revealed a particular video, in which we can see an interview with Marc Márquez himself. Thanks to a montage, the Honda driver plays both the role of the interviewer but also that of the interviewee, for a most personal interview. Here is the video with English subtitles, and the translation of his key answers.
“I am in the process of building a house in Cervera. The first thing I told the architect was that I need a large garage. I need it for my training bikes. As for the house itself, the most important thing is a good sofa because the living room is the sacred room. Sitting on a Sunday with a blanket watching a movie is something that happens at my house too! »
“If I had to give you advice it would be to trust your loved ones, your team, those around you, because they will be there in difficult times. When you're young, a lot of people tell you that you're great, and you get lots of compliments, but when difficult times come (fortunately I haven't had many), your loved ones are there and you have to know how to listen to them. »
“I love music but I sing very badly, and what's more, I don't remember the words. My brother tells me that I'm the best arranger of songs he knows because I do them my way. On the other hand, I love watching musical shows, those with talents. It reminds me of my journey. They arrive in a show, like I arrived in the World Cup. Everything is new, you have to grow in this environment. It's much more exaggerated in the shows because it happens in a few weeks, but in a few years you find yourself on TV, in the newspapers, you are stopped in the street. It's like a "boom", and in hindsight we see how fast it is. »
“I only go to karaoke a few times a year, but when I do it’s a good sign. In fact it's a ritual: when I win, I go there and we all sing “We are the champions. » I know it's not an amazing song but it brings back lots of memories. It's one of my favorite songs. »
“Obviously there are a lot more girls who are interested in me, but that's for what I represent. It's not easy to find someone who will be interested in Marc, and not in Marc Márquez. Fortunately, we motorcycle riders are lucky because there are a lot of countries that don't follow our sport, so it's easier to go incognito and meet people who don't know who we are. »
“My grandfather really liked walking in the countryside, and when I was little I used to accompany him on my motorbike. One day I had the idea of entering a cornfield, the problem was that the stalks were so high, and the field so big, that I got lost. My grandfather guided me with his voice, I tried to pull my motorcycle but I couldn't get out. I was very scared, but now it's a great memory from my childhood. »
