Current factory Honda MotoGP rider Alex Marquez will move to the satellite LCR squad in a two-year deal, it has been confirmed today.

The youngster will move into Lucio Cecchinello’s team at the end of 2020 and replaces Britain’s Cal Crutchlow.

“I am very proud to announce my renewal with Honda Racing Corporation. HRC gave me the opportunity to arrive in MotoGP and I am glad to join the LCR Honda Team at the end of 2020 and compete in a big team with great experience in MotoGP,” said Marquez.

“I want to thank HRC and the LCR Honda Team for their trust in me to be able to continue in the Honda family and I will work hard to prove their confidence with results. Now, I am eager to start the season in Jerez and I am completely focused to give my best this year.“
