Respol Honda Team all geared up for Le Mans this weekend

Respol Honda Team all geared up for Le Mans this weekend

Alex Marquez and Stefan Bradl will be hoping for a great weekend at Circuit de la Sarthe.

The penultimate triple-header of the year begins the closing stages of the 2020 MotoGP season and Repsol Honda Team is as ready as ever following a week of rest.

Weather at the French circuit could produce some of the most difficult conditions of the season so far. Last year Marc Marquez raced to victory at the historic French track, claiming Honda’s 300th premier class win as a result.

In 2019, the 4.2-kilometres long Le Mans circuit saw Alex Marquez take the first of his five wins on his way to the Moto2 World Championship title. The aim of the weekend is to capture the form the MotoGP rookie showed in Misano and at the start of the Barcelona weekend, challenging for a spot in Q2 and battling for the top ten in the race. Alex has traditionally gone well in the wet but is yet to have much time on the Repsol Honda RC213V in the rain. Alex will head to Portimao for a single day to familiarize himself with the new circuit on a road bike.

Stefan Bradl arrives in France from a two-day test in Portimao in preparation for the season-closing round, a demanding schedule for the HRC Test Rider. Traditionally Bradl has achieved consistent results in France, never finishing a premier class race outside of the top ten in Le Mans. Like many riders, Bradl is waiting to see what the weather will do.

This weekend the MotoGP race is scheduled to start at 13:00 Local Time as opposed to the usual 14:00 Local Time.

Alex Marquez (Repsol Honda Team)- What to Expect?

“Last year the bike worked very well here in Le Mans and also in Aragon, so I am looking forward to riding there. We will have to look at the weather forecast because right now it does not look so nice, quite cold and wet but these things can change. Whatever the conditions, I arrive really motivated for the second half of the season and to push hard to show the potential we had before the race in Barcelona. In the last week, I have been training hard with determination to keep improving.”

Stefan Bradl (Repsol Honda Team)- What to Expect?

“We start another intense period with three races in a row, as well as a test. As always, we will approach each race looking to help HRC as much as possible while pushing for the best result. Le Mans has the potential to be very interesting with the weather, so we need to see what happens with the rain and what the track temperature is like before we can make any firm plans for the weekend. Hopefully, we can have a good weekend and take another step.”
