The twelfth stop: MotoGP British Silverstone Station
The history of the British Silverstone Circuit is also common. This year's Silverstone Station has poured heavy rain from practice competitions to qualifying competitions and main competitions.

The main competition in the MotoGP category was cancelled due to weather reasons, and the Silverstone Circuit once again gained a "legendary story".

, fell into the battle of the top three throughout the whole process and continued to narrow the gap with the top two leading drivers.

It was also Marquez's sixth victory this season, and his teammate Pedrosa won the fifth place.

Crutchlow of the LCR Honda Independence Team won the runner-up in Japan.
Stop 17: MotoGP Australia Phillip Island station
Australia Phillip Island Station is a blessed land for Marquez. This year, Marquez started at the pole position of the Phillip Island International Track for the fifth consecutive year. On the fifth lap, due to the collision and friction between Marquez and Zarco's front and rear wheels, both ended the competition on this site. Otherwise, Marquez would have a great possibility to reach the top here!
Station 18: MotoGP Malaysia Sepang Station
Originally the number one in qualifying, Marquez was forced to lose his pole position because he accidentally blocked other drivers and started from the 7th place, but this did not affect Marquez's "upper position" speed at all! Soon, he steadily surpassed all the way to the second place. At the end of the game, with Rossi falling down, Marquez played steadily and finally won the ninth championship in his personal title, staged a scene of "You can take away my pole position, but I will win my score championship"!

Honda team's 2018 season results
Honda factory team driver Marquez competed 19 times throughout the year, and took the poker 14 times (9 sub-station champions, 4 runner-ups, and 1 third place), and 7 pole positions throughout the year. Without a doubt, with a total of 321 points, he won the annual championship with an absolute advantage of 76 points ahead of the second place. This is also Marquez's fifth annual championship in the MotoGP category (13, 14, 16, 17, 18). He is also Marquez's annual championship for the MotoGP for three consecutive years. This year's 2018 season Honda also won the three championships of the champion driver, champion team, and champion manufacturer!
2018 season's good results perfectly interpret the peak dominance of Honda racing in the MotoGP field. It has the world's top top motorcycle riders, the world's most advanced motorcycle manufacturing technology and racing technology, and has countless racing experiences and perfect matching. This is why this legendary MotoGP team was created - Repsol Honda Team! Next year, former MotoGP world champion Lorenzo joins the Honda factory team. I believe that next year's Honda team will usher in a new peak!
Dani Pedrosa-New MotoGP Legend Driver
Although Dani Pedrosa has never won the annual championship in the MotoGP category, but looking at his 18-year MotoGP career, he is still so brilliant:
1, 54 MotoGP Grand Prix champion
2, 31 MotoGP Group champion
3, 153 MotoGP Grand Prix podium (including 112 MotoGP group)
4, 3 Annual championship (125c in 2003 C group, 2004 and 2005 250cc group)
5, 2020 MotoGP group participation experience (2006-2018)
6, 3 times won the MotoGP group's runner-up (2007, 2010, 2012)
7, 3 times won the MotoGP group's third place (2008, 2009, 2013)
8, 2020 competition experience only played for one manufacturer - Honda. . . . . .
This year's German station press conference, Pedrosa officially announced that it will officially retire after the end of the 2018 season. As an uncrowned king, Dani Pedrosa is only 160cm tall and weighs only 51kg. His thin figure makes him need to work hard and practice when driving a 1,000cc horsepower machine, and bear more risks of falling and injuries. As one of the few drivers who have the chance to defeat and replace Rossi in the peak era, he deserves respect from car fans all over the world. After the Valencia Station, the last stop of the 2018 season, Pedrosa was officially awarded the honorary title of "MotoGP Legend Driver" by MotoGP!
Honda Motorcycle Culture
As an old Japanese motorcycle brand, Honda has long admired the concept of motorcycle culture and is committed to promoting motorcycle riding safely and comfortably.Honda has always adhered to a rigorous work attitude. It has been meticulous for decades and has used craftsmanship to create the quality of Honda motorcycles. It is precisely because of this that Honda motorcycles have so many enthusiasts around the world, who are fanatical and fascinated by it. It is also because of this that Honda motorcycles have a strong, durable and strong sense of quality reputation among motorcycle enthusiasts around the world! This is the motorcycle culture of Honda, the world's largest motorcycle brand manufacturer, which makes us firmly believe that this honor deserves its reputation.
In recent years, in the domestic market, new imported car models have been continuously opened nationwide, and joint ventures have joined hands with domestic joint ventures to hold a driving training event. In terms of foreign events, the Honda Factory Team and Honda Racing Company (HRC) have always been active in MotoGP, MXGP (World Motocross Championship), SBK (World Superbike Championship), EWC (World Off-Road Endurance Motocross Championship), and ARRC (Asian Motorcycle Championship). In addition, the Honda Red Bull Rookie Cup selection is also in full swing. I believe that in the future, with the continuous implementation of Honda motorcycle culture in China, more and more young Chinese drivers will have more opportunities to appear in the ARRC and Honda Rookie Cup, and even the stage of MotoGP. I sincerely wish that the Honda Racing will continue to move forward fearlessly in the future and continue its glory.
