The Repsol Honda riders will be in action Stateside this weekend, at the Grand Prix of the Americas.
Since the Circuit of the Americas was added to the MotoGP World Championship calendar, Marc Márquez has won every premier class race there and taken every pole position.
Dani Pedrosa brought the Repsol Honda Team one-two finishes with his second places in 2013 and 2014.
Austin was the scene of Marc Márquez’ first MotoGP victory.
MARC MÁRQUEZ
“After the Argentina race, I’m happy to go to a track I love as much as Austin, although of course I would have preferred to arrive there in a better position. Anyway, another race weekend is about to start and we’ll give 100% to try to get our first podium this season. I have great memories of Austin, and for me it’s one of the best venues on the race calendar. I like the layout of the track, as it has many different types of sections and corners and lots of elevation changes. I also love the “American” style, with all the fans enjoying the sport and the fun at the track, so let’s get back in action and see how it goes there.”
DANI PEDROSA
“We had the chance to spend a few days back home in Europe, to rest a little and also to do some good training, and now I can’t wait to get back on my bike in Austin. It’s a pity we didn’t get points in Argentina, but we’ll put that behind us and concentrate on the positives. Now that we know more about our bike, we’ll work to improve the stability and the general setup, and hopefully we can take another step this weekend. I like the circuit and visiting Austin and the fans are really fantastic there, so let’s hope for a good weekend in Texas!”
