Marc Marquez’s 2012 Moto2 championship title has prompted sponsor Respol to release this video of 300 images to celebrate the two–time World Champion and hopefully the next MotGP superstar, however Marquez’s recent title has been tainted by numerous rumors and speculation during the season that the Spaniard has something a little extra in his Moto2 machine (according to German website Speedweek it may have been in the ECU) that gave him an advantage – which has always been vehemently denied by his CatalunyaCaixa Repsol team and that it was just the Spaniard’s extraordinary talent that let him take 8 victories, 5 podiums and 7 pole positions this season after missing all pre-season testing due to his eye injury.
Marquez in his switch to Repsol Honda will be taking his current crew chief Santi Hernandez and one mechanic from his Moto2 team, but Casey Stoner’s crew chief Cristian Gabbarini will be staying on to supervise Hernandez in a technical advisory role.
