PICS: MotoGP bike swap - Marquez style!
MotoGP champion Marc Marquez leaps from one Repsol Honda to another
These pictures show MotoGP champion Marc Marquez leaping directly from one Repsol Honda to another while practising a bike swap during warm-up at Assen.
Bike swaps are allowed to solve the problem of mid-race weather changes, allowing them to change from slick to wet tyres for example, but other riders put at least one foot on the ground as the swap machines.
This sequence shows exactly how Marquez does it...
