Marc Marquez leaves Repsol Honda
It was claimed that Marc Marquez, who is known to be unhappy with Honda's course of action, agreed with Gresini Ducati for the 2024 season.
AS, one of the important newspapers of the Spanish press, wrote that Marquez's departure from Honda has gained momentum and that he is preparing to race at Gresini next season and join his brother Alex Marquez.
According to the news, there were important contacts between the two sides, leaving the factory side out. The deal is very close to becoming a reality as there are no details to be finalized.
Speedweek, on the other hand, claimed that Marquez will leave Repsol Honda after 11 long years and will race for Gresini Ducati with his brother Alex in 2024.
These claims were prompted by Gresini commercial and marketing director Carlo Merlini saying, “Of course, if Marquez or Joan Mir want to sign a contract with us, we would also like to have such racers. Who would not want that?" He also supports his words.
Marquez's future has become one of the most important agenda items of MotoGP. Honda will try to do its best to keep Marquez in the team, but it is claimed that Marquez's decision is final.
Marquez has been racing with Repsol Honda since 2013 and has won six world titles in the process. However, he has had difficulty regaining his form due to injuries in recent years. In the 2023 season, he could not compete in the championship because Honda's new motorcycle was not competitive.
Marquez's transfer to Gresini Ducati will be a big event in MotoGP. Marquez will be one of Ducati's strongest weapons and can make a great contribution to the team in the championship fight.
