The attention-grabbing scene was created to highlight the upcoming British Grand Prix, where Marquez will make an effort to return to the first step of the podium. The champion Honda rider has already set the record of winning opening 10 races during a single season, but he is yet to register some more wins in order to defend the title.

In the meantime, Marc drove his bike on a completely different track, the steel suspension bridge that is commonly known as Millennium Bridge. After riding across the bridge, Marquez shared his experience by saying that he was not really quick as there was lot of wind. He also said that he made an effort to do a small wheelie but the wind was quite strong and in the end it proved too tight for him, so he said to himself “ok”.

According to Marc the event was pretty important for MotoGP before the British Grand Prix takes the place and they were lucky that the weather was not too bad, as normally he expect it to be raining in England. Therefore, he said that it was unforgettable experience for him as he got the chance to create a history by riding over the famous River Thames right in the heart of London on a sunny day.

The Spaniard added that he did not get to ride on the roads as he has not got a license. This was also the first time when a motorcycle had been allowed to ridden over the Millennium Bridge. Given that the bridge was exclusively made for pedestrians in June 2010 to reach from one end to the other end of London by crossing River Thames.

British riders Leon Camier, Bradley Smith and Michael Laverty joined Marc later in the press conference.
