Marquez crosses the Thames on his Repsol Honda

Rising MotoGP star and the current Championship leader, Marc Marquez from Repsol Honda team, rode his Honda RC213V across the historic Millennium Bridge. Entire London city came to a standstill as Marquez became the first man to cross the bridge on a motorised vehicle. With the iconic St. Paul’s Cathedral shining in the backdrop, Marc passed on the bridge several times and ended with a burnout at the North bank side of the Thames.

"It was really nice to become the first ever person to cross the Millennium Bridge on a motorbike! This event was really important for MotoGP ahead of the British Grand Prix and we were very lucky with the weather - I normally expect rain in England! So to be here in the centre of London on such a bright day, riding over the River Thames and making history was a memorable experience. The slippery metal surface of the bridge did not make it easy, but I tried to put on a good show for all the fans who came out to see us!” stated Marc at the occasion.
