MotoGP Stars Attend Minneapolis Supercross
With the U.S. MotoGP round coming up this weekend in Austin, Texas, MotoGP stars Marc Marquez and Andrea Dovizioso traveled to the U.S. early to check out the Minneapolis round of Monster Energy Supercross on Saturday.
Marquez, the four-time and reigning MotoGP champion, is very passionate about dirt bikes and rides a Honda CRF450R during his off-season.
Dovizioso, who also rides a lot of moto and is currently second in MotoGP points, posted a picture with four-time Monster Energy Supercross champion Ryan Dungey:
I also found this tweet from David Emmett of Moto Matters telling how much MotoGP rider love riding dirt bikes:
The one thing you have to understand about MotoGP riders is that they all wish they were better at motocross, so they could be racing in MXGP rather than MotoGP https://t.co/AmaNmbYkiV

Not only are MotoGP riders dirt bike fans, dirt bike riders love MotoGP. It was a big deal that Marquez was at the supercross, and plenty of riders wanted to go meet him.
