Marquez: “Japan is reacting” to my feedback as Honda MotoGP future hangs in balance
There are rumors circulating that the eight-time world champion may switch to the Gresini Ducati team in 2024 due to ongoing issues with Honda in MotoGP. However, Marquez has consistently stated that he has a contract with HRC. The post-race test on Monday is considered crucial in Marquez’s decision to stay with Honda or explore other options, as Honda will be bringing a prototype 2024 bike for testing. Marquez made it to Q2 during Friday’s practice session and utilized a tow from KTM wildcard Dani Pedrosa. When asked about Honda’s decision to choose Pedrosa as a test rider instead of him, Marquez avoided the question but emphasized the importance of engineers in a test team. Despite trying different setups, Marquez still experienced a lack of traction with the Honda, suggesting that the bike itself is the root of the problem.
