The sight of Marc Marquez battling against the Hondas next season is sure to take some adjusting to.
Marc Marquez, who has been with the Japanese manufacturer for 11 years, will be leaving to join Gresini Ducati, possibly after this year’s postseason Valencia test. Despite the departure, Alberto Puig, the Repsol Honda team manager, maintains a good relationship with Marquez and expresses his support for him. Puig also emphasizes that Marquez will become just another competitor in 2024. While Puig hopes for Marquez’s success, he also wants to beat him, as winning is Honda’s ultimate goal. Puig is confident that Marquez will quickly adapt to the Ducati, considering that other riders have done so. As of now, there is no official replacement for Marquez at Repsol Honda, and the only available spot in the 2024 MotoGP rider line-up is at Honda, alongside Joan Mir.
