MotoGP: Marc Marquez and Daniel Ricciardo skipper the America's Cup for a day

No matter if it's two wheels, four wheels or ... a hull, there is no driver/rider who can resist the thrill of speed. So Marc Marquez and Daniel Ricciardo left the Montmeló circuit (where Formula 1 is racing this weekend) to head out to sea. Waiting for them were two AC40s from Alinghi Red Bull, the boats that compete in the America's Cup. The two challenged each other in the waves reaching up to 90 kilometers per hour, and Ricciardo was the winner.

"The feeling of speed is very high, you have the feeling of flying," Marc commented on the experience.
