With the world still working to overcome to Covid-19 pandemic, the Repsol Honda Team have launched their 2021 challenge with a fully online presentation for the first time in Honda’s history. A new style presentation for a year set to be full of new challenges.

Focusing exclusively on his recovery from a broken right humerus, the eight-time World Champion has been working diligently to return to his best and comeback strong for the 2021 season. A champion’s spirit drives Marquez to succeed at everything he does.

The iconic Repsol Honda Team livery will be another constant in 2021 as Repsol and Honda continue their more than quarter of a century long partnership. With 180 premier class wins, 447 premier class podiums and 15 World Championships, the combination is without doubt the most decorated in Grand Prix Racing and is determined to return to these levels of success.

Marc Márquez: “After a long time away, it was nice to see my bike again and wear my leathers. 2020 was a difficult year for everyone and especially for me with the injury and watching the races from home. But I have continued to work with the doctors, with my team and with myself to recover and return to MotoGP. Of course, I would have liked to return sooner, but it is especially important to listen to the doctors and my body until I am fully fit. I can imagine the best comeback that is to start riding again the bike and be the same, but it will be difficult to be like this. But we will see if it takes one race, two races, half the season to be the same Marc. I will not be at the Qatar Test as I aim to return only when I am 100% and there is still some work to do.”

Marc Márquez joins Mondraker

With an incredible ten World Championship titles between them, the Márquez brothers, Marc and Alex, have chosen to ride Mondraker bikes as a key part of the physical conditioning regime required to reach championship winning form.

Whatever they’re riding, Marc and Alex demand machines that won’t hold them back, so with our range of podium-proven bikes, it was a simple decision to team up with Mondraker. To enable them to take their mountain bike training to the next level, we have armed the two brothers from Cervera with a pair of unique F-Podium RRs that have been exclusively customized just for them.

Marc is World Champion in three categories – 125cc, Moto2 and MotoGP – and is the youngest rider ever to win the overall victory in MotoGP. To mark the identity of this champion, his fully customized F-Podium RR is decked out in the colors and design from his motorcycle helmet and features his iconic race number – 93.

Marc and Alex will use their F-Podium RRs for their aerobic training during pre-season and the weeks outside of race season. Their fellow team members will also ride F-Podium bikes to help make each training session more effective, more analytical and more fun – something that is a key part of the Márquez philosophy. While the brothers are champions in the world of motorcycling, they are incredibly skilled on two wheels of any kind. Should they ever decide to turn their focus to competitive cycling, we’re in no doubt that they could make names for themselves here too.

Marc and Alex received their customized Mondraker F-Podium RR from Miguel Pina (Mondraker CEO) and Yuriy Tomas (Mondraker Marketing Director), who travelled to Cervera to present the bikes to the brothers in person.

Marc was very happy with his new bike and comments: “Unfortunately I haven’t been able to test it yet because of the injury, but aesthetically it is spectacular. The shapes of the tubes give a unique personality to the F-Podium and it is really beautiful. We’re going to enjoy it a lot.”.
