MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez has written a new chapter in the history of motorcycling by speeding around the Hahnenkamm on his bike.

The three-time World Champion is used to tackling high-speed courses on the comfort of tarmac but has now become the first rider to ever take a MotoGP bike over the snowy summit of an Alpine mountain.

With modified tyres featuring snow spikes, and the help of Austrian ice speedway legend Franky Zorn and TV ski pundit Armin Assinger, Marquez took his usual position on his Honda, put his foot down and shot down the piste.
