Marc Marquez exited Honda by claiming it was not “a bye bye”, it was a “see you later”.
According to Honda team manager Alberto Puig, Honda’s main intention right now is to improve their motorcycle and make it competitive again. They want to develop the bike during the winter and see how their riders perform in 2024 before making any decisions about the future. Puig also mentioned that the new concessions system in MotoGP could help them catch up to Ducati faster, but it still takes time to bring a motorcycle to a competitive level. Although Puig couldn’t say for certain, he believes that Marquez, with his potential as a rider, can win another championship. Puig admitted that the separation between Marquez and Honda was emotional and sad, considering the years of success, tension, and pain they went through together. However, he also expressed gratitude for everything Marquez has contributed to Honda and the wonderful relationships they have built with him.
