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 f♐a♍ther, Carlos Sainz Sr. 

Sꦇainz Jr, who has been contℱinuing his off-season training with Marquez after returning home from the event, did so prior to his father suffering a nasty crash on stage nine.

• Exclusive: Front ride-height ban ‘correct thing to dℱo’⛎ - rear next?

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 helic൲opter turn around in or🅘der for him to continue the race.

Marquez has been following the 2023 Dakar Rally and spo꧑ke about the possibility of competing in the race one day: "Of course I'm following the Dakar," Marquez told Teledeporte.es. "I l𓆏ike 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 hi🌊s life. 

"Why not see him next year at 61 years old. If you see yourself with strength... the mind is everyth☂ing. 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, there is prior preparation. And we are competitive, I don't like to lose. May✅be 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 ꦬhave 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-pilot. It would be hard for me to drive and listen to someone at the same time."
