Repsol Honda Team
With their best result of the year so far, Repsol Honda Team will be making its way to Spain for the first of two races in Aragon. Hometown hero Marc Marquez will be continuing his rehabilitation at home. Duo Alex Marquez and Stefan Bradl will be setting sights on major improvements this weekend.
The rain-filled French GP saw Alex Marquez charge from 18th to second, claiming his debut podium in just his ninth race and first-time racing in the wet. Teammate Stefan Bradl also produced stellar results finishing at eighth place after starting 21st. The team arrives back in Spain for the Aragon Grand Prix with renewed vigour.
“It has been a nice few days enjoying the feeling after Le Mans, I want to say thank you again to everyone who has supported me or sent me a message after the race. But now it is time to reset a little bit and get back to work in Aragon. Qualifying is still the area we need to work on the most as we have shown that our race pace is usually not so bad and we’re able to fight more and more each race. Let’s see what the weather brings, Aragon in the morning can be very cold so we need to pay attention to this. Let’s have a good weekend.”
“I am happy to continue with the Repsol Honda Team in Aragon, but I hope that Marc is continuing to recover well. Coming back to the points last race with a strong ride has given me extra motivation for this weekend in Aragon. It’s a circuit with a lot of variety and some tricky points, especially if the temperatures are cooler you really need to pay attention to the right side of the tyre early in the lap. The aim is to again deliver the best result possible for HRC.”
