Alex Marquez says he isn’t underestimating the enormity of the task to adapt to MotoGP at Repsol Honda as he returns to action alongside his 🐻brother Marc at the team launch i𓂃n Jakarta.

The Moto2 world title ꦡwinner joined the reigning MotoGP ❀world champions in unveiling the 2020 Repsol Honda MotoGP livery, almost identical to last year’s colours, as it aims to defend its Triple Crown.

The younger Marquez sibling became the 11^th-hour replacement for Jorge Lorenzo at Repsol Honda this winter, with Lorenzo moving on to become Yamaha test rider, and off the back of three ౠproductive winter tests the 23-year-old says he’s starti🦹ng to “feel a part of Repsol Honda Team”.

After debuting at the Valencia and Jerez post-season tests last November, Marquez completed two of thജe three days at the Sepang shakedown but missed the final day to take part in the Repsol Honda launch in Indonesia’s capital city.

“It is a privilege to be part of the family that is the Repsol Honda Team,” Alex said. “Already I have had the special feeling of stepping in the garage for the first♊ time, working with my team fജor the first time and now meeting the world at the launch – I truly feel a part of the Repsol Honda Team.

“I know that there is much to learn and achieve in 2020 but I am devoted to giving my best, I’ll try to improve♐ and learn every day and hope we can do a great season step by step.”

Honda’s General Mana💙ger of Racing Operations Tetsuhiro Kuwata has already promised both Marquez brothers “the best tools” for 2020 as it looks to maintain its current run of MotoGP domination.

Honda and Marquez have wrapped up three consecutive MotoGP Triple Crowns with the most recent titles securing the Tokyo factory its 25^th manufacturers’ world title and the Spaniard’s eighth worldꦓ riders’ crow💦n.

“Having achieved our goals last season by again winning the Triple Crown, we’re delighted to present our team for the 2020 MotoGP World Cham🃏pionship,” Kuwata said. “Last season, Marc Marquez won his sixth MotoGP title, while Honda secured both the Constructors and Team titles. Marc continues to break records every year, and we hope he’ll continue to give us many more great moment🌜s in the future.

“For 2020 we have a new rider as two-time world champion in Moto2 and 🐼Moto3 Alex Marquez joins us. He rode with us already in 2014 in our first season in Moto3 and we were able to achieve the title together.

“The🧔se two brilliant riders deserve the best tools to be successful this new season💃, and it's our mission to make this possible. Our engineers in Japan and our team around the world have done an impressive job, and I’m sure that we’ll do it again this time.”

The defending MotoGP world champion, who is still recovering from shoulder surgery he underwent on November 27, only returned to 🌠two wheels last week on a training bike at a karting track but remains confident of completing the Sepang test this weekend without major disruptions as he balances his recovery with developing the 2020 RC213V.

“I am happy to come to Indonesia ag𝐆ain, the atmosphere here he is like nothing else and it is great to be able to launch our 2020 efforts,” Marquez said. “The launches we have are always import♋ant to help ourselves back into the rhythm of the season.

“We approach this year the same as the ꦍlast and all others before it, wi🧸th our full focus and ready to work with the Repsol Honda Team to achieve the best we can.

“Together with HRC and Repsol we have achieved incredible things and continuing this success is a bi🔥g source of motivation for me, and now I’m eager to start another season and compete again on the RC213V.”

The Marquez pair and Kuwata were joined by 📖Toshiyuki Inuma, President Director PT Astra Honda Motor and Alberto Puig, Repsol Honda Team Manager, at the team presentation with the event dovetailing the launch of the Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports and Honda Rebel in Indonesia.

Repsol Honda and the rest of the MotoGP grid return to action on Friday for the three-day official Sepang pre-season⛦ test (February 7-🌠9).
