You are going to face your last Grand Prix with the Repsol Honda Team. How do you feel?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the Wednesday before the Valencia Grand Prix, the last of the year. Obviously now the stands are empty, with a calmness that will not be there later during the weekend. Being the last race of the year, it is always special, but this one is different. I don’t like to say that it is my last Grand Prix with Honda, because you never know what will happen in the future. But it will be the end of a spell with the Repsol Honda Team and it will be a weekend with many emotions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have you worked on it mentally? How do you face it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is always very difficult to work on how to face a Grand Prix, especially when it comes to emotions. At the Valencia Grand Prix there are sure to be unforgettable moments, because I want to do my best on track -and to do that I need to be 100% focused.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does the Repsol Honda Team mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Repsol Honda Team has been -and always will be- the team that has defined my sporting career and my life. I have been with them for 11 years and we have won 6 world titles, something that I am not going to achieve with another team. I am 30 years old now. They will be the team with which he I have achieved the most success on a personal and collective level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you recognise the bike behind you? What does it mean to you? What memories does it bring back to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI do recognise this bike. This is where it all started. It was from my rookie year and it was a dream debut: My first year in MotoGP, and winning the title. It was the most fun year in MotoGP for me, because I had no pressure on me, I could do anything and everything went well. Here I had the opportunity to join the team where my idols had raced, in addition to sharing the box with one of them: Dani Pedrosa. From there, these 11 successful years began.\u201d

What is the difference between the Marc from 2013 and from 2023?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have learned a lot; more from the difficult moments and the setbacks we have received, but we have also enjoyed a lot of the good moments. You cannot compare a 20-year-old kid with a 30-year-old, with all his ideas clearer in his head and more mature. I have learned many things and the decision I have made now at 30 years old is one I would have been incapable of making at 22, 23 or 24 years old, because I was not mature enough to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what hasn’t changed about you over the years?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy character, my smile and, above all, my ambition have not changed. That remains the same as when I started out. This is one of the reasons for the change. I am here to try to be the best on the track and to do this you have to try to find the best solution. There are many times that it is difficult, but I would not be able to sleep soundly tomorrow if I had doubts or if I were thinking \u201cwhat if I had done this?\u201d I am a rider who, both on and off the track, does what he feels is right and what I need in order to try to fight for the leading positions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
