Gresini announces Marc Marquez’s MotoGP deal for 2024
Last week, Honda announced that they would be parting ways with eight-time world champion Marc Marquez at the end of the season, despite his contract running until next year. Marquez has been strongly linked to the Gresini team for some time, and Honda’s efforts to keep him on board ultimately failed. Gresini officially confirmed Marquez’s appointment on Thursday, with team boss Nadia Padovani expressing excitement and gratitude. The announcement was expected to coincide with the Indonesian Grand Prix, as Gresini has sponsors from the country. Marquez will join his brother Alex at Gresini next year on Ducatis, with Honda unable to provide any of their current team members due to future concerns. Honda is reportedly considering making Miguel Oliveira their replacement for Marquez, but there has been no official approach from HRC and Aprilia denies that there is a clause in Oliveira’s contract allowing him to leave early.
