Yes, it is quite a jump from a Moto3 bike to a fire breathing Repsol Honda MotoGP prototype machine. So what impressed Alex the most? Power? Brakes? Tires? “In general everything,” Alex answered. “In the end the power compared to Moto3 is the big change. But in the end is everything. The speed when you start to brake was incredible, the head always go to the rear.” While this was all good and fun, the Marquez brothers hope for a more permanent arrangement in the future – same team or otherwise. “If it’s possible same team would be really, really nice, but you never know this,” Marc said. For now Marc is a good older brother and mentors Alex, but how long will sharing trade secrets last? “Now yes,” Marc said about sharing secrets. “In a few years I don’t know.” It was an incredible season for both. Marc’s record-breaking season that allowed him to earn a back-to-back MotoGP Championship has got to be difficult to beat. For little brother, you never forget your first and winning it with a hard fought battle against Jack Miller to take home his first world title in Moto3 has got to be pretty special. Now add to that this nice little present from Honda, it’s hard to think of what else they could ask for this Christmas. “Nothing,” Marc said. “Only would like [the same] for the next year,” Alex said.
