The eight-time world championship winner, six of which have come in MotoGP for Repsol Honda, is a known admirer of the Dakar Rally while his good friend and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Formula 1 driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz was recently at the four-wheel event to support his father, Carlos Sainz Sr.&nb🎀sp;

After complaints of pain in his torso, a medical helicopter was deployed in order to take Sainz Sr to a local hospital, but in a surprising turn of events the 60-year-old demanded that the helicopter turn around in ord💖er for 💧him to continue the race.

Marquez has been followingℱ the 2023 Dakar Rally and spoke about the possibility of competing in the race one day: "Of course I'm following the Dakar," Marquez told Teledeporte.es. "I like everything about the✃ engine.

"On Carlos Sainz Sr: He’s sick from the engine, from adrenaline. Not⛎ only the Dakar, of all motorsports. Precise details, it's his life. 

"Why not see him next year at 61 years old. If you see yourself with strength... the mi♒nd is everything. He had speed, and I think he was the fastest on the track.

"What is clear is that for me, not on a motorcycle, it would hurt me. Obviously you sign up for a bombing. The Dakar gives a lot of respect, ꦅthere is prior preparation. And we are competitive, I don't like to lose. Maybe in the future I would go to compete, but not just to finish the race."

Marquez also claimed that having a co-pilot talking to him would be a problem: "It is what would cost me the most, to have someone next to me🧸 talking,” added the MotoGP star, who discussed such a scenario with Sainz Sr. 

"He was preparing for the race as if it were his first Dakar. And I asked him about that, he told me that it is his hand 🐷and his right foot, that the gas is the co-p✤ilot. It would be hard for me to drive and listen to someone at the same time."
