Press Release | Repsol Honda Team return to Austin

 


Repsol Honda Team return to Austin

 

MotoGP 2021 Round 15, Grand Prix of the Americas

 

Americas, September 28, 2021: The MotoGP World Championship heads for the second flyaway of the year as the championship returns to the United States of America, Marc Marquez and Pol Espargaro are excited to see what the RC213V can do in Austin and reunite with the US fans.

 

After an intense two weeks with back-to-back races and a two-day test, the Repsol Honda Team are out on the road again and heading stateside. The unique Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas will return to hosting the Grand Prix of the Americas after a hiatus in 2020 due to the global pandemic. First added to the calendar in 2013, the Texan track saw Marc Marquez take six straight pole positions and victories between 2013 and 2018.

 

Marc Marquez has missed victory just once at a 5.5km-long circuit when he fell while leading in 2019. Although the eight-time World Champion is aware that he arrives in a very different situation in 2021, his aim is to make the most of the weekend and continue the recent run of form. With second in Aragon and a fighting fourth in Misano, the #93 arrives in some of his best forms since returning from injury. Marquez has taken pole position on each of the previous seven visits that MotoGP has paid to the Circuit of the Americas and holds the outright lap record of 2’02.135 set in 2015.

 

After a busy and productive Misano Test, Pol Espargaro is also looking forward to being reunited with his Honda RC213V and seeing what’s possible around the Texan circuit’s 20 corners. Espargaro’s most recent visit to COTA yielded an eighth-place finish back in 2019 and the #44 has only once finished outside of the top ten at the track. Like his teammate, Espargaro has been making steady progress since his pole position in Silverstone and is out to make a strong impression in the last four races of 2021.

 

The action begins in the US at 09:55 Local Time on Friday, October 01 at the Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas.

 

Marc Marquez

“I am looking forward to Austin and we’re arriving thereafter two good races, in Aragon and then in Misano. It’s a layout that I like and in the past, we have had a lot of success but this year is a little bit different with our situation arriving there. Like always, it’s going to be important to build over the weekend and see where we line up on Sunday morning. No matter what it will be great to return because it’s around I always enjoy a lot.”

 

Pol Espargaro

“After a good test I am excited to head to Austin, it’s a fun track to ride and it will be great to see some more MotoGP fans outside of Europe. We found a few things during testing in Misano and Austin will be a good place to try them because it’s a circuit with a lot of variety. I’ve had a few top tens there in the past so hopefully, we can build on that base this weekend.”

Is studying abroad a boon or a bane?

We have always had a debate when it comes to the topic - "Is studying abroad a boon or a bane?" The ideas differ from person to person. If you ask me, I would surely say that Studying Abroad is certainly a boon. Why is that? India is home to many universities which are known worldwide. Having said that, we must also accept the fact that none of them are in Top 20 at least. While there are many factors that attributes to this, when a person has the means to afford it combined with interest and talent, I do not see the reason as to why one shouldn't be educated abroad? While few study for their status symbol, majority of them predominantly study abroad to enhance their career. There is no doubt in it. Take a look at this brilliant video before we could proceed further. Having said that, the option isn't available to all who wanted to go out of India. The major hindrance for us is clearing the English tests which were being conducted across the glob...
