Marc Marquez has insisted that Alberto Puig remains a crucial figure in Honda’s future.
Marc Marquez has announced that he will be leaving Repsol Honda to join Gresini Ducati for the 2024 MotoGP season. This move means that he will be leaving behind team manager Alberto Puig. However, Marquez has recently expressed his appreciation for Puig’s contribution to Honda’s success, stating that Puig has always been honest and has good ideas for the future of the team. Honda, who has been under-performing for the past two years, will face the challenge of a season without Marquez next year. They are planning on appointing Luca Marini as his replacement and making behind-the-scenes changes to improve their technical development. Marquez supports the idea of concessions for Honda to help them regain their competitive edge.
