Next stop Spanish GP for the Repsol Honda Team

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

After an emotional return to #motogp in Portimao, Marc Marquez's rehabilitation continues in #jerez as #polespargaro aims to make amends for the previous round.

Heading to the iconic #jerez de la Frontera for the Gran Premio Red Bull de España, the #motogp World Championship is primed for another exciting weekend. The #repsolhondateam will again be operating at full capacity as #marcmarquez and #polespargaro line up together aboard the RC213V. This weekend there will be a fifth Honda on the grid as Stefan Bradl returns to the World Championship as a wildcard.

Marc Marquez put in a hero's effort to race to seventh in Portugal on his return to #racing after missing the majority of the 2020 season. In Portimao Marquez showed he has lost none of his aggressive style, sliding his Honda, making his characteristic saves and even fighting for the lead of the race in the early laps. The eight-time World Champion is prepared for another demanding round as his physical condition continues to improve. While the previously broken right humerus had no problems in the previous outing, Marquez is continuing to work in the gym to improve his overall race fitness. Marquez has scored a podium on each occasion he has finished the Spanish GP in the premier class including three wins.

Having put the cruel stroke of fate that ended his Portugal GP early behind him, #polespargaro is approaching the Spanish GP with his trademark focus and optimism. Now set to ride the RC213V at a third different circuit, the Granollers native is eagerly looking forward to riding his new machine at a well-known circuit. Espargaro's goals for the weekend remain the same; make improvements throughout the weekend and fight on Saturday to earn a better grid position than in previous races.

Premier class action begins at the Circuito de #jerez – Angel Nieto on Friday at 09:55 Local Time with Free Practice 1 for #motogp. Sunday's schedule returns to the traditional format with the #motogp race following the Moto2 race at 14:00 Local Time.
