Four-time MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez has been named the new ambassador of the official timekeeper of MotoGP, Tissot.
Marquez, born in Spain in February 1993, was chosen due to his endurance, skill and determination to be the best. Back in 2011, he was involved in an accident during practice for the Malaysian Grand Prix, forcing him to miss the race and undergo surgery to rectify his vision. When he returned to the race in 2012, he won the 2012 Moto2 World Championship in the Australian Grand Prix.

Meanwhile, president of Tissot, François Thiébaud, praised Marquez’s accomplishments. “We’re honored to welcome Marc Marquez into the Tissot family,” said Thiébaud. “Again and again he has demonstrated his passion for racing and keen determination to work hard – qualities we value above all else at Tissot. The Tissot family shares the same fighting spirit.” (wir/wen)
