MotoGP's rookie sensation, Honda rider Marc Marquez declared he is a bit nervous before the first race of the season, which will take place at the Losail circuit in Qatar, Sunday April 7.
This is Marquez' first-ever MotoGP race and this is why his anxiety is easily understandable. Even more, he is one of the favorite 4 riders for the 2013 title, and he's the one rookie in this select group.

Reigning Moto2 champion, Marc Marquez will have to battle his team mate Dani Pedrosa, Yamaha's stars Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi. However, there are so many other riders with huge experience, Ducatisti Andrea Dovizioso and Nicky Hayden or Cal Crutchlow, to name just a few.

Despite the fact that Marquez knows that the winter testing went very well and the Honda bikes are the best machines at the start of the season, he also knows that this is the ultimate test before he can call himself a true MotoGP rider. And as himself told MotoCuatro, a night race in Qatar is quite a way to start a career in MotoGP.
