Marc Marquez recently found himself in the middle of a social media storm, not for his performance on the track, but for his reaction to a fellow rider's outfit. The viral moment unfolded when Marquez was caught off guard by Pol Espargaro’s choice of attire ahead of the 2024 British MotoGP.
Pol Espargaro, who has been in the spotlight recently due to his return to the MotoGP paddock, showed up at the 75th-anniversary event dressed in a retro outfit inspired by the popular TV series *Peaky Blinders*.

The outfit was a nod to the upcoming retro-themed British MotoGP, which celebrates the 75th anniversary of the world motorcycle championship. As teams revealed their classic liveries, Espargaro’s outfit was in perfect sync with the nostalgic mood of the weekend.
Pol Espargaro set to get wildcard run in Austria
Marc Marquez, known for his candid and humorous personality, couldn’t hide his surprise and amusement upon seeing Espargaro’s getup. The moment was captured on video and quickly spread across social media, with fans and followers loving Marquez’s genuine reaction. The clip shows Marquez doing a double-take before bursting into laughter, clearly impressed by Espargaro’s commitment to the theme.
Beyond the laughs, Espargaro’s return to MotoGP has been highly anticipated. After stepping away from full-time racing at the end of 2023, the 33-year-old rider took on a test rider role with KTM for the 2024 season.
His loyalty to KTM was rewarded with this position, allowing him to continue contributing to the team alongside three-time champion Dani Pedrosa. Espargaro’s first wildcard entry of the season at Mugello was met with excitement, and his upcoming participation in the Austrian Grand Prix on August 16-18 is eagerly awaited.
