Despite repeated denials from from Marc Marquez’ personal and team manager Emilio Alzamora that his client will not be in MotoGP next season, the 18-year old Moto2 rookie sensation will be gifted with a test ride with one of Honda’s GP bikes during the post season test at Valencia, next November.
The test will be organized by Repsol (his team is called Catalunya Caixa Repsol) and Honda, if Marquez does win the Moto2 title – he’s trailing just six points behind Moto2 leader Stefan Bradl – and it also may be chance for the big boys upstairs to see how this Spaniard handles himself on a 800 or 1000cc bike, as they prepare for his debut in the premier class.
“We’ll see how we finish the season, if we win the title then we’ll deserve it,” said Marquez speaking to Spanish website AS.
