It has been a long time since we saw reigning champion Marc Marquez but the Spaniard has graced us with his appearance for the first time since Jerez, July 25, when he made his return to the MotoGP paddock to catch up with the Repsol Honda Team and update them on his recovery.

The eight-time World Champion was excited to get back and see his team after such a long time apart after completing his PCR test. Marquez joyfully returned to his element as he enjoyed reconnecting with HRC management and seeing his Repsol Honda RC213V again.

Just like us, the rest of the world was eager to know about how the young gun was doing. Marquez only made a brief yet pleasant visit before returning home to Cervera to continue his recovery.

“It has been great to come back to the MotoGP paddock and see my team and HRC again. Of course, we have been speaking on the phone, but I have really missed them a lot and it was great to see them, but also my bike again! There was a part of me which certainly wanted to ride again, especially after sitting on the bike but now is the time to be patient. It was good to come here to speak not only with the team but also with Honda as we start to make a plan for 2021. I wish I was riding here at my home race with the weekend, but I will enjoy watching it on TV instead.”
