This GP de La Comunitat Valenciana will mark the end on an era, that of Marc Marquez and Repsol Honda who have brought many world titles for both. The former world champion will leave for Gresini.
On this round at Spain, the rider said: ‘We have finally arrived at the end of the year. It has been a year full of ups and downs, emotions and difficult decisions. Now we come to Valencia looking to end the season in the best way possible, it’s a track I like and have good memories at’.
Marquez didn’t shy away from saying how this one will be very emotional: ‘Of course, it’s not just any end to a season, it will be a very emotional one as an incredible chapter in my sporting career, and in my life, comes to a close. Together with the Repsol Honda Team we have made an incredible story over the last 11 years, the good times and the bad have helped me become who I am and this weekend will be about celebrating what we’ve done and enjoying our time together until the very last moments. Let’s make every lap count’.
