A slow accident turned nasty for MotoGP champion Marc Marquez during day one of the Jerez test, when he tumbled awkwardly in the gravel and needed a trip to the Medical Centre.

Marc Marquez may have faced very few troubles during his dominant 2019 MotoGP campaign but he is starting to worry about a new problem when his record-breaking feats are expected every season.

Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton hopes that Honda’s progress creates a “serious” three-way fight between the leading teams in Formula 1 next year, praising the manufacturer for making “big steps” through 2019.

Cal Crutchlow has expressed disappointment at Honda’s refusal to return three engineers that left his corner of the LCR garage at the close of 2018, feeling they “should make me stronger, not weaker.”

If the other Honda MotoGP riders hoped Marc Marquez might push for an easier handling bike for the 2020 season, they probably shouldn't hold their breath.

Following Sunday's season-ending MotoGP race, riders and teams have returned to the Valencia circuit to start their 2020 preparations in earnest during a two-day official test.

Under the spotlight after his newly-announced Repsol Honda MotoGP deal alongside older brother Marc, the pressure on Alex Marquez ramped-up further when he sent his RCV tumbling through the gravel on only his eighth lap at Tuesday's Valencia test.

Marc Marquez spent much of the opening day at the Valencia test as the quickest non-Yamaha rider, despite a 'very strange' lunchtime fall that left a 2020 Honda prototypes in pieces.

Seven years after signing Marc Marquez, Repsol Honda has hired another MotoGP rookie for 2020 in the form of his younger brother Alex.

Johann Zarco's three-race partnership with LCR Honda came to a scary conclusion when the Frenchman was hit by Iker Lecuona's bike while walking away from his own accident at the Valencia MotoGP season finale.

Rather than experiencing sadness or regret, Jorge Lorenzo has revealed he “felt freedom” when he finished his final race as a MotoGP rider at Valencia, with the fact he is “healthy, still young [and able] to enjoy life a lot” sufficient reason to feel “a lot of happiness.”

Marc Marquez has described his dominant 2019 MotoGP world championship as the best season of his career having produced stunning records along with capturing the final part of the Triple Crown by wrapping up the teams’ world title with victory at the Valencia Grand Prix finale.

Jorge Lorenzo believes the urgent search for his successor at the Repsol Honda team is centred around Cal Crutchlow, Johann Zarco and Alex Marquez.

The 2019 titles may have already been settled, leaving little more than P3 in the drivers’ championship to fight for, but that has not prevented some late mind games setting in at the front of the pack in Formula 1.

Lewis Hamilton says he has “no idea” where Mercedes’ Formula 1 engine rivals Ferrari and Honda’s superior performance came from during Brazilian Grand Prix qualifying.

Marc Marquez has reaffirmed his stance that his future team-mate is solely the decision of Repsol Honda as he assesses what the chosen candidate will face both over the winter and in 2020.
