Repsol Honda Team prepares for the season finale
With the memorable Valencian GP seeing Joan Mir locking in the 2020 FIM MotoGP World Championship title with a historic triumph, the season is dimming down to its final race in Portugal. Despite the heaps of celebration in Valencia, this does not stop Repsol Honda Team from giving their all in the season finale to round up their year. The team is now all set to face the final round of the unprecedented 2020 MotoGP World Championship as the series returns to Portugal.
Riders Alex Marquez and Stefan Bradl will be tackling the impressive Algarve International Circuit as it plays host to the last dance of the year. Many of the riders have sampled the circuit at a brief test on road bikes but few having raced there before.
Practice begins on Friday at 10:10 Local Time with a 70-minute FP1 session to allow riders and teams to learn the new circuit.
After a few days of rest and recovery, I am feeling better and my left wrist is feeling stronger. Portimao is a new circuit for almost everyone this weekend so it will be interesting to see how we all adapt and learn it. It’s a very physical track with a lot of blind corners so I think it will produce some very exciting racing. I’m looking forward to it.
When I tried the RC213V at Portimao during the test it was like a whole new circuit from when I raced there before, the level of the bike and also the electronics in MotoGP makes it completely different. I am looking forward to the weekend, the track is enjoyable to ride and I want to finish the season well. It has been very busy, especially these last three races, but I have enjoyed myself a lot.
