Andrés Iniesta and Pau Gasol, wanted to come by just to say hello to Marc and Dani #Repsolteam
The Motorcycling World Championship is one of the great attractions of the world sports scene, so it is of course one of the highlights of the year for any motorsports fan.
Sometimes, there are pleasant and famous surprises among these fans. Experiencing a Grand Prix live or visiting the pit box of a team with the history and record of Repsol Honda is an exciting opportunity for anyone.

If we go back a few more years, we find one of those moments that are particularly thrilling for sports fans. In the United States GP, one of the most important sportsmen in history took the chance to come by the pit and meet Nicky Hayden, a Repsol rider at the time. Who are we referring to? We
