Marc Márquez turns 30 today, and celebrates it while promoting his documentary All-In, a docuseries that will premiere on Prime Video next week and that will arrive preceded by a massive event that Red Bull will organize in Madrid this Sunday, February 19.
The #93 will travel through some of the most emblematic streets of the Spanish capital together with hundreds of motorcyclists before stopping at the Plaza de España to attend the screening of the first chapter of this documentary that focuses on its 2022 season, a year full of joys, disappointments and fearsproviding a personal and unique vision of the life of the Catalan.
During the promotion of the documentary, Marc has offered an interview to Mundo Deportivo in which he has talked about everything, including his recent media facet with appearances in numerous programs such as ‘El Novato’, ‘Traveling with Chestet’ or his return to the Hormiguero space scheduled for next week.
Regarding his recent round on television, Marc assures that “It is not so that I am known more”because a pilot must be popular “for the results” and not because of the times his face appears on television, and if until now he had kept a little distance from the spotlight it is because, according to his words “I wasn’t psychologically prepared or because I didn’t feel mature enough to put up with certain things. Now I do,” admits, alluding directly to his new documentary, where the viewer will find himself “With Marc, for everything, what I deal with is there, it’s like I’m talking to a friend. Some people won’t like it, but I’m like that.
Returning to the sporting plane, the man from Cervera claims to start the 2023 season “with recharged patience”especially after what he saw in the Valencia test last November, where he recognized “I ran out of patience, but because it’s time for it to run out, a wake-up call that you have two months to work. Now is not the time to lose patience before starting a season, because there is no time to recharge that patience.”
He has said it several times, and once again, Márquez insists that he has left “two years with Honda” that he intends to comply no matter what happens because, he says, the Japanese factory “He has respected me a lot throughout my career, especially these years injured. My goal is to win, my dream or illusion is to do it with Honda. I have won with them and I have suffered with them, and now I want to win again with them. There are many factors, on track and off it, and that is where we all have to row in the same direction.”
The #93 does not doubt the effort that HRC has made to put their bad streak behind them. He claims that “We have spoken with the Japanese, there has been a restructuring, new parts, new concepts, a very different test from the one we did in Malaysia testing very strange things for a pilotbut that were needed for the project”, a list of things that encourage you to be positive for 2023.
At the moment, as he already said in Malaysia, the eldest of the Márquez brothers He doesn’t want to assess the winning potential of his bike until they finish the job in Portimao. Of course, both he and Honda will have to refine everything possible in Portugal because it is the only bullet they have left before the traffic light on this same circuit goes out at the end of March.

“When in the first pre-season test, the concept of the test is so different and you do such conceptual tests… you go with very little time, to a bullet, you will try it in Portimao and with that you start, you are not like other factories, I am not saying all of them, which are click here and below, we are going to try this and that’s it. We have had this in the past, in 2014 I remember leaving the Malaysia Circuit at 2:00 p.m., everything was done. Not now, it was 6:00 p.m., raining, and I kept filming because it was needed”, summarizes Márquez to imply the huge change in mentality with which Honda faced the last test in Malaysia.
