Battery experts and co-sponsors of Repsol Honda Team, Yuasa, are celebrating Marc Marquez’s third MotoGP World Championship. Victory in Motegi last weekend saw the 23-year-old become the youngest ever rider to win three premier-class titles.

With three races still to go in the season, Marquez claimed the crown with his fifth win of 2016 after a dominant performance in the Grand Prix of Japan at Motegi.

Yuasa, the world’s number one original equipment manufacturer motorcycle battery supplier, have backed the Repsol Honda MotoGP team and their riders Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa since 2013. During this time Marquez has won a staggering 29 GPs and scored 50 podium finishes en route to his record-breaking three MotoGP world championships.

James Douglas, Marketing Executive at Yuasa Battery Sales said, “We are absolutely delighted that Marc Marquez has won the 2016 MotoGP World Championship, and has cemented his place in the record books by becoming the youngest rider ever to win three premier-class titles. Since becoming a major sponsor of Repsol Honda in 2013 we have enjoyed unprecedented success with the team. Yuasa’s core values are reliability, quality and performance and our partnership with Repsol Honda strongly mirrors this. We also believe that success is achieved through teamwork and this is continuously demonstrated by their strong team ethics.”
