Marc Márquez begins his convalescence following his left shoulder surgery, only Dani Pedrosa went to represent MotoGP during the Honda Thanks Day organized every end of the year in Motegi in Japan.

This undoubtedly had a special flavor since it was the last time for the Spanish driver, after having represented the Tokyo firm for 13 years in the premier category and being in fact a pure product of the Honda sector since 2001 and his arrival in Grand Prix.

Before starting as a KTM test rider, such loyalty deserved reward and this is what the gentlemen did elegantly Tetsuhiro Kuwata (HRC Director) and Takahiro hachigo (President Honda Motor Co.) by offering not one but two of his old motorcycles to the 33-year-old three-time Spanish world champion who, however, never obtained the title in the premier category.

A nice gesture that deserves to be highlighted, as few riders have their MotoGP at home!

Congratulations to Honda and thanks to Dani Pedrosa which never failed despite sometimes certain difficulties linked to its low weight which prevented it from keeping its tires warm.
