HONDA'S MARQUEZ BROTHERS MAKE MORE HISTORY AT VALENCIA.

2014-11-09 13:53
Double MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez (Repsol
Honda RC213V) scored his 13th victory of 2014 at
Valencia today to become the most successful
rider over the course of a premier-class season.
The Spanish phenomenon took the record from
another Repsol Honda rider, Mick Doohan, who won
12 races during the 1997 500cc World Championship.

Earlier in the day Marquez had been boosted by
the superb Moto3 World Championship achieved by
his younger brother Alex Marquez (Estrella
Galicia 0,0 Honda NSF250RW), which makes the pair
the first siblings to win Grand Prix world titles
since the dawn of motorcycle Grand Prix racing in 1949.

Marquez's record-breaking MotoGP ride was
nerve-wracking in the extreme, with light drizzle
falling after half-distance which had several
riders enter the pits to change to their
number-two bikes fitted with rain tyres. Marquez
- who had made his way into the lead from third
place at the end of the first lap - saw his lap
times drop several seconds as the rainfall
reduced grip. But he bravely and correctly
decided to continue on slicks, despite a fall at
the recent Aragon Grand Prix, where he had come
to grief on a dampened track while using slicks.

All this time he was under serious pressure from
Valentino Rossi (Yamaha) who doggedly chased the
youngster until the track started drying out and
Marquez increased his pace again to beat the
Italian by 3.5 seconds, with team-mate Dani
Pedrosa (Repsol Honda RC213V) crossing the line
in third place. The pair's Valencia results were
enough to win Repsol Honda the team's title for
the second consecutive year. Honda had already
won the MotoGP Constructors World Championship,
for the fourth consecutive time.

Marquez's 19th career MotoGP win - and his 45th
in total across three categories - is the
culmination of another astonishing season from
the 21-year-old who last year became the youngest
rider to win the premier-class title and this
year the youngest rider to win the world's most
important motorcycling prize twice in succession.

Pedrosa's third-place result was a great return
to form after DNFs at the last two events. The
former 125 and 250 World Champion once again
raced hard throughout, battling his way through
from fifth place at the end of the first lap and
then resisting the temptation to call into the
pits for rain tyres. Although he eventually lost
touch with the front two, he continued to run a
fast pace in the treacherous conditions.

Stefan Bradl (LCR Honda RC213V) had a difficult
final race with Honda. He started well but
struggled with grip on the damp track and didn't
want to risk a fall in his last ride with the LCR
team. The former Moto2 World Champion ended the
race in eighth place, just behind the Yamahas of Pol and Aleix Espargaro.

Scott Redding (Team GO&FUN Honda Gresini
RCV1000R) had another excellent ride to finish
tenth and top Open Honda between the factory-spec
Ducatis of Michele Pirro and Hector Barbera. With
less power than the factory bikes he tried to use
the damp conditions to his advantage but in the
end he lacked the grip to beat Pirro.

Nicky Hayden (Drive 7 Aspar Honda RCV1000R)
maintained a good pace when the rain first
arrived, but when more drizzle fell he struggled
with grip and was unable to fight as he would've
liked. He completed the season with a 13th-place result.

Hiroshi Aoyama (Drive 7 Aspar Honda RC213V-RS)
did a great job to score the final World
Championship point in the first race on the
RCV213V-RS which he rode for the first time on
Friday. The Japanese - who will work as a test
rider for HRC next year - also chose the hard
rear tyre which wasn't the ideal choice for the damp conditions.

Alvaro Bautista (Team GO&FUN Honda Gresini
RC213V) had yet another difficult race,
struggling to get the right feeling. He finished 16th.

Karel Abraham (Cardion AB Motoracing Honda
RCV1000R) finished a difficult weekend in 17th
spot. He actually found his machine worked better
in the slightly slippery conditions but as the
track dried again he was unable to stay with Aoyama's RC213V-RS

Thomas Luthi (Interwetten Paddock, Suter) won a
shock last-gasp victory in the Moto2 race, after
chasing recently crowned World Champion Tito
Rabat (Marc VDS Racing Team, Kalex) throughout.
On several occasions the Swiss rider was to able
to sneak past the Spaniard - for the last time at
Turn Two on the final lap - but he was never able
to make it stick, Rabat always reclaiming the advantage in an instant.

As the pair accelerated out of the final corner
for the last time Rabat was several metres in
front and seemed all set for his eighth victory
of the season when he suffered slight fuel
starvation and Luthi went charging past. Rabat's
problem was caused by a lower track temperature
that caused more slides which used more fuel,
leaving him a fraction short at the end.

That lost Rabat just enough acceleration to allow
Luthi to blast past to win his second victory
from the last four races and secure fourth place
in the championship. Luthi has come on strong
during the last few races thanks to a revised
chassis from Suter that turned his season around,
allowing to win his first race of the year at
Motegi. At the line the pair were covered by just
0.133 seconds, a typically close finish in the
hard-fought Honda-powered series.

Rabat - wearing special gold-liveried bike and
leathers in celebration of his title win - was
obviously bitterly disappointed at losing the
race in the final few metres but that cannot take
away from his brilliant 2014 season during which
he's scored 11 pole positions and a total of 14 podium finishes from 18 races.

Johann Zarco (AirAsia Caterham, Caterham Suter)
took a strong third-place finish all on his own.
It was the French rider's fourth podium result of
the year. He spent the early laps battling with
Dominique Aegerter (Technomag carXpert, Suter)
and Franco Morbidelli (Italtrans Racing Team,
Kalex), who later fell and remounted to finish 21st.

Some way behind Zarco, Luis Salom (Paginas
Amarillas HP 40, Kalex) won a great battle for
fourth place with Xavier Simeon (Federal Oils
Gresini, Suter), the pair crossing the line
separated by just six tenths of a second.
Aegerter finished sixth, just one second behind Simeon.

Sam Lowes (Speed Up, Speed Up) was a lonely
seventh, well ahead of a five-man contest for
eighth which was won by Marcel Schrotter (Tech 3,
Tech 3) ahead of Anthony West (QMMF Racing Team,
Speed Up), Lorenzo Baldassari (Gresini Moto2,
Suter) and Jordi Torres (Mapfre Aspar Team, Suter).

Maverick Vinales (Paginas Amarillas HP 40, Kalex)
and Mike Kallio (Marc VDS Racing Team, Kalex)
were all set to battle for runner-up spot in the
championship until they collided on the first
lap. Vinales continued following repairs but soon
pulled into the pits again, his race over.

Alex Marquez made history this morning, taking
the Moto3 title following a breathtaking race
which had fans on the edge of their seats
throughout. The mathematics were simple: if
Marquez's only title rival Jack Miller (KTM) won
the race, then Marquez had to finish third to take the title.

The race was less simple. The lead group
sometimes numbered up to ten riders, with
positions changing dramatically every few
corners, with Marquez dropping several places at
one point as riders jostled for position.

In the final laps Miller assumed control of the
race from Isaac Vinales (KTM), with Marquez
third, chased hard by Danny Kent (Husqvarna). In
the last lap Kent closed remorselessly on Marquez
and looked ready to make a move and push the
title in Miller's direction, until he ran wide
three corners from the chequered flag. That gave
Marquez the breathing space he needed and he
crossed the line in third, shaking his head in
delight while his crew and older brother danced with delight in pit lane.

In a class in which it's almost impossible to
ride tactically, Marquez did a perfect job to
take the title from Miller by just two points.

His team-mate Alex Rins (Estrella Galicia 0,0
Honda NSF250RW) and Efren Vazquez (SaxoPrint-RTG
Honda NSF250RW) also figured heavily in the lead
battle, but got pushed back in the melee to
finish fourth and fifth. John McPhee
(SaxoPrint-RTG Honda NSF250RW) had also been in
there until he slid off on the last lap, then
remounted to finish 17th. Alexis Masbou
(Ongetta-Rivacold Honda NSF250RW) finished the
race in 12th spot and Zulfahmi Khairuddin
(Ongetta-AirAsia Honda NSF250RW) in 19th.

Honda and KTM were tied on 384 points in the
chase for the constructors championship with KTM
taking the title on race results count back.

Pre-2015 Testing for the MotoGP class commences
at noon tomorrow and continues until 5pm on
Wednesday. The next official all-teams test takes
place at Sepang, in Malaysia, in February.


Honda MotoGP rider quotes
Marc Marquez, Repsol Honda: race winner
“I am so pleased, especially for my brother! It
is a very happy day, even more than in Motegi
when I was crowned champion. Today Alex took the
Moto3 title that he deserved, and to cap it off I
was able to close the year with a victory here in
Valencia. I congratulate my brother for his
season, because both him and Honda have done a
great job this year! Now it's time to celebrate
in the way that the occasion deserves, because it
will be difficult to repeat another season like
this. During today's race I was reminded of
Aragon, because it was raining and there was a
moment in which I considered whether or not to
change the bike. In the end we stayed calm and
today we were successful with our strategy. It
was an ordeal which I enjoyed but suffered a bit
at times! Thanks to the whole team for all their efforts this season!”

Dani Pedrosa, Repsol Honda: 3rd
“It has not been my best season and obviously I'm
not satisfied, but you have to take the positives
from the situation because we learned a lot this
year. Over the next few days we have some testing
and we will try to get the best out of the bike
for the next test, which comes in February.
Today's race was difficult. It rained a lot in
some areas of the track and it was very hard to
keep upright because at other parts of the track
it was dry. We had to take risks and also be
careful at the same time. On the other hand, we
finished on the podium and that's good because we
hadn’t taken points at the previous two races.”

Stefan Bradl, LCR Honda MotoGP: 8th
“Sure I was expecting a bit more from this race
because our pace was faster than what we finally
achieved. But this race was really strange
because it started to rain the first laps and I
was not strong enough to make the pace. Honestly
I did not want to crash to ruin my last race with
LCR and Honda. This is an acceptable position
considering that I am not a fan of this
racetrack. I was expecting something more from
this season but with these ups and downs it was
not easy. I really enjoyed these three years with
LCR and my greatest thanks go to Lucio
[Cecchinello] because he believed in me and,
together with the team and the team sponsors,
they have done the maximum to support me."

Scott Redding, Team GO&FUN Honda Gresini: 10th
“I’m happy for this top ten result in the last
race: the conditions were tricky, but I was able
to use it to my advantage. The group of riders in
front of me was not so far ahead and I tried my
best till the end, even though the soft tyre
dropped down a little bit, so it was quite
difficult for me to ride fast on the long
corners, because you need to spin it to make the
bike turn. However, overall we had a great
weekend: I wanted to make a good result to say
thank you to all the team and I did it. We have
been quite a lot faster than the other Open Honda
bikes and I ended the season as the first Open
Honda in the championship, so I’m really happy”.

Nicky Hayden, Drive 7 Aspar Honda: 13th
“I had a good feeling in warm-up, a pretty decent
pace, the closest I've been to the top guys since
I came back. I was hoping for a little better
race. The bike was working good, I moved up early
and felt good in the first little shower but by
the last shower the tyre was off and I lost a lot
of time and got swallowed up by a few guys. I had
a good race, back and forth with a lot of guys,
unfortunately it was for 13th. It wasn't too much
fun racing a wet track on slicks. You could smell
the water and see it, though only the last corner
was really, really wet. You couldn't trail brake
there or into Turn Eight, but the rest of track
was pretty grippy. I never really thought about
coming in. Every forecast and radar we'd seen
said it'd just be a few drops. At Aragon the
radar said at 2.30 it'd be real rain, so soon as it started raining I came in."

Hiroshi Aoyama, Drive 7 Aspar Honda: 15th
“The conditions were really difficult, with the
rain; plus we only got the bike this week so we
needed to work on set-up a little more. Today we
tried to focus to make the best possible race. We
chose the harder tyre which was a little bit too
hard with the rain. I struggled with rear grip
especially at the beginning and when the track
got wet. It was not easy to keep my pace, but I
tried my do best to get the get best result. We
had never even done a long run, so we learned
something in the race. It was good experience for
us and I was happy to finish. Mainly the bike
needs bit more adjustment with the Magneti ECU.
The race was like a test for us because the
electronics weren't perfectly adjusted, but I was
strong in the later laps which was good."

Alvaro Bautista, Team GO&FUN Honda Gresini: 16th
“Unfortunately, the result of this race sums up
our season: a disaster. Even in this last race we
were never able to make the bike work and as a
result we weren't able to fight with the second
group of riders. When it started to rain the
situation was even worse and I was getting even
less feeling. Too bad, I’m sorry also because
this was my last race with Honda. Today is coming
to an end a season to forget, definitely one of the toughest in my career."

Karel Abraham, Cardion AB Motoracing: 17th
“After yesterday's bad qualifying I got 17th
place. The weather helped a bit and it's a pity
that it did not help me even more. After the
start, the bike was sliding a lot, but when the
rain started I could feel more and I enjoyed
riding more. Due to that I managed to reach the
group in front of me and I was riding for points.
When the track dried again there was no other
possibility to get in front and Aoyama overtook
me. I could not fight with him because he was
riding the 2015 bike and in the straights he was
much faster than me. On the other hand I know
what we can look forward and we will be much more competitive next year."


Moto2 rider quotes

Thomas Luthi, Interwetten Paddock: race winner
“What a surprise! Out of the exit of the last
corner I couldn't believe it - I thought maybe it
was a yellow flag - but then I realised something
was wrong with his bike and I took profit of
that. Tito was so strong, he made no mistakes and
I couldn't really get by him all race, until
those last few seconds. Now me and my team go our
separate ways and I think this is the best way to
thank them for all their work."

Tito Rabat, Marc VDS Racing Team: 2nd
“I made a good start and found a good rhythm. I
wanted to stay in front of Tom because his bike
was faster than mine. But the cooler temperature
made the bike slide more, so after the last
corner the last bit of fuel didn't make it into
the engine properly. Anyway, I'm so happy with
the work of the team and I've had the best bike
all season. My thanks to my team and sponsors and sorry to the fans for today!

Johann Zarco, AirAsia Caterham: 3rd
“I think it was possible to win but I crashed in
warm-up so my confidence wasn't at the top for
the race. At first I fought with Aegerter and
Morbidelli, so Luthi and Rabat were able to go
away. I tried my best to catch them but I was
missing a few tenths. I'm happy with third place
and a big thank you to my team for repairing the
bike which was quite badly damaged."


Honda Moto3 rider quotes

Alex Marquez, Estrella Galicia 0,0: race winner and World Champion
“I am very happy. It has been a very eventful
race, with some complicated situations, but
yesterday I felt very strong and I knew I could
handle those moments calmly. I was very
competitive at all times during the race. Getting
this title is the result of all the hard work
we’ve done this season and is a reward for never
losing patience and always wanting to get better
and better. I wanted to win this title cleanly,
and that’s what we did. I knew that if a
difficult situation was created then I could play
the same game, but finally we were able to take
the title cleanly. Now the important thing is that we won."

Alex Rins, Estrella Galicia 0,0: 5th
“It was a race that I would do all over again
right now. I had a lot of fun and time flew by,
even though I did not have a good feeling with
the bike. I saw that I didn’t have a chance of
winning the race, because the rear tyre would not
have lasted, so I decided to try to help my
teammate. I shouldn’t forget that thanks to him
I've got where I am. We've been riding together
since 2010 and over the past two years he has
taken a big step forward, which has made me grow
as well. I have to congratulate him for the
championship win and also thank the team for all these years together."

Efren Vazquez, SaxoPrint-RTG: 6th
“I was trying to help Alex as much as possible.
We wanted to win the race but at the same time I
tried to be intelligent for Honda, so I made sure
I didn't disturb Alex if I was able to overtake
him. Finally I lost a few positions and once I
could see Alex was safe in third I pushed my
maximum for my own result. I am happy enough; we
finished the championship in fourth place and I
would like to say thank you to Honda for all their help and support this year."
