Luca Marini will ride for Repsol Honda in the 2024 MotoGP season, beginning his first experience as a factory rider. His brother, Valentino Rossi, also race for the manufacturer, despite his career being linked mainly with Yamaha.
However, there are pictures of Marini as a child wearing a leather with Repsol Honda colors in a youth competition. A coincidence that #10 was faced in an interview with the team’s communication department. The Italian commented:
– This is something incredible, something made from destiny, I don’t know. I don’t remember very well why I had those leathers. I remember that I was really happy to have those colours because also in that period, in those years, were incredible, like every year in the MotoGP history with the Repsol Honda Team colours were incredible. So, it’s a very big pleasure to wear them now in MotoGP.
