P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Marc Marquez’s switch from Repsol Honda to Gresini Ducati will have major ramifications on track, but also in the sphere of sponsorships.
“Despite his personal sponsors, there may be potential for Gresini to benefit from Marquez’s fame and acquisition. The team has received interest and satisfaction from current and potential partners. However, Repsol, an energy giant, is contracted to stay with Honda until 2024. Interestingly, Red Bull will no longer be an official sponsor for Honda, but will sponsor Tech3 GASGAS’s bikes instead. Marquez himself is still personally sponsored by Red Bull, along with Spanish beer company, Estrella Galicia. Although Marquez took a pay-cut, his sponsorship deals should still provide him with a significant income this season.”
