It happens in Valencia. Alex Rins makes a mistake and hits Marc Marquez. The # 93 makes fun of him, even Honda says about him: “Not so soon!”
Marc Marquez and Alex Rins they started the weekend pretty well in Valencia. Removed two incidents without consequences for the first one … But both are in top ten, the useful turn to enter Q2. But there is still no third sessiondecisive for deciding who will be the 10 pilots directly admitted to the second qualifying round. But it’s a good start for both of us, albeit with a sudden: a contact right at the end of FP2, caused by a mistake by Rins. Marquez taken by surprise makes fun of his compatriot, but not only him. Honda too “wand“Nicely pilot # 42.
Marquez-Rins, “tests of the future”
Unexpected curtain at the end of the second free practice session in Valencia. The MotoGP riders had gathered for the usual starting tests, last act before returning to the garage. But something goes wrong between Marc Marquez and Alex Rins. The first is still, ready to shoot, the second is on its way. Here, however, something happens: the Suzuki of the Spaniard ends up in contact with the rear tire of the Honda of the multiple MotoGP champion. Who immediately turns around surprised, to then play the game. After apologies of Suzuki’s Spaniard, Marquez lets himself go to a rather eloquent gesture: “I’m watching you.” By later adding a “He’s ready to get on the Honda.” Premise sparkling for what will be a future brand companion!

Honda “brakes” Rins
Marc Marquez he wasn’t the only one joking about it. A response also comes from his team via social media, as a comment to the video went viral in no time. “A little too much desire to get on the Honda, wait until Tuesday Alex” is the tweet of HRC, which thus ‘holds back’ its future LCR driver. A nice moment during the last GP of this intense 2022 season, before starting to really do seriously for next season. In fact, next Tuesday Alex Rins will wear the colors of his new team for the first time. In addition to clearly giving the first close look at the tricky Honda RC-V, which even Marquez had to say … It will be a 2023 with a team renewed in the middle, with the Suzuki duo on the way. Mir next to # 93, Rins in LCR next to Nakagami. A beautiful challenge with a bike that is no longer among the best of the lot, and that only Marquez was able to bring up somehow. But Rins hasn’t wasted time!
