During a press conference on November 14th, Jorge Lorenzo, the three-time MotoGP champion, announced that the race in Valencia over the weekend would be his last appearance in the prestigious MotoGP championship. Following Lorenzo’s retirement announcement, rumors began to circulate about who would replace the rider to compete alongside Marc Marquez in the upcoming MotoGP season.
The Marquez brothers become teammates at Repsol Honda Team in the 2020 MotoGP season
Initially, many people believed that French rider Johann Zarco would be chosen by the Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) to replace Lorenzo. However, in the end, 23-year-old rider Alex Marquez was the one selected to become the teammate of MotoGP 2019 champion Marc Marquez, with a one-year contract. This will be very exciting, as both Marquez brothers will be competing together on the RC213V.
Regarding the decision to choose Alex Marquez as the replacement for Jorge Lorenzo, Alberto Puig, Team Manager of the Repsol Honda Team, stated that Alex Marquez is the Moto2 2019 champion and this is a starting point for HRC to consider signing a contract with him. In addition, HRC is also looking for young riders for the future, and Alex Marquez is the most suitable choice. Furthermore, Alberto Puig emphasized that Alex’s relationship with the 2019 MotoGP champion does not affect HRC’s decision.
The 2020 MotoGP season will officially kick off with the first race in Qatar on March 8th, 2020. The Qatar Grand Prix is the only night race in the history of MotoGP.
