Rider stars in an encounter with more than 200 students at Campus Repsol in Madrid, answering questions from children.
Marc Marquez and more than 200 children participated in the presentation of the official comic about the Repsol Honda rider’s life. At the event, held at the headquarters of the energy company in Madrid, schoolchildren aged from 9 to 17 years old played journalist for a day and fielded questions to their hero.
‘Marc Marquez: The Story of a Dream’ tells the story of Marquez, from the day he was given a first petrol-powered bike for Christmas aged four, to his winning his first MotoGP title. The book, published by Norma Editorial, focuses on some lesser-known stories about the rider, such as those from his childhood and early years of competition before reaching the World Championship. It includes many anecdotes –a great number of which have been previously unpublished- and the most influential chapters of his life on and off the track.
In the comic, designed for all ages, the human values of the rider instilled by his family and surroundings since he was a child are explained. These are in harmony with those of Repsol, not only in the world of competition, but also in the development of his activity. Repsol and Marc Marquez have shared a close relationship for nearly ten years -beginning even before his debut in the World Championship in 2008- in which effort, sacrifice, humility, innovation, the spirit of excellence and teamwork have been mainstays.
