LOMBOK- Eight-time world champion Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda / HRC) shared several messages for young Indonesian racers who are determined to compete in world motorcycle racing.

"I am very happy with the presence of young Indonesian racers. As beginner racers, they have categories. Even with Dorna and sponsors, I think they want to invest to see them more advanced, such as for Indonesian racers," Marquez said when met at the HRC area at the Mandalika International Circuit, Central Lombok, NTB, Saturday, October 14.

Furthermore, Marquez assessed that the presence of a number of racing competitions for rookie racers is a door for them to develop their abilities, both in terms of physical and mental resilience, so that they can advance even further to premiere classes such as MotoGP.

"Now there are some young racers from Indonesia who are starting at a good level, such as in the Asia Talent Cup, and they do a good job when facing it," said the older brother of racer Alex Marquez, quoted from Antara.

"I hope to see more Indonesian racers in the future," he added.

Still talking about Indonesia, Marquez said he had many fond memories when he visited this island nation. He said he had tried Sentul Circuit, tried street bikes, until he appeared as a guest star on a number of television shows.

"Besides that, Mandalika is also very fun. Mandalika is a very beautiful place and I enjoy it," said Marquez.

Still excited to talk about Indonesia, Marquez said he wanted to taste a number of more typical foods. He revealed that he had tried fried rice which he thought was very delicious.

"I will probably try eating Indonesian food on Sunday (15/10) night (after MotoGP Indonesia). If I deserve that opportunity, of course I will try even more (Indonesian food)," he said.
