Marc Márquez concluded his chapter at Repsol Honda yesterday before joining Gresini for the 2024 MotoGP season. His new contract is for only one year and he still doesn’t rule out a possible return to the Japanese manufacturer.
The Spanish rider made it clear to the press after the Valencia GP race: ‘I never want to close the doors. For that reason I said in the past on some interviews and I say again: the relationship with Honda has been amazing and we decided to finish our relationship because both parts agreed. We have full respect. I don’t want to put the situation in a very critical moment, because I like to have the door opened from Honda’.
After several achievements, Márquez highlighted that Honda will always hold a special place in his career but admitted that a potential return won’t depend solely on him: ‘I say, and maybe the other manufacturers don’t like to hear, but this will be the team of my live, of my career. I achieved six world championships and many victories, I will not achieve these numbers with another manufacturer. Honda will always be the most special team in my heart. We will see if we can cross again our futures. It will not be only my decision’.
