Honda selects replacement for axed MotoGP technical boss Kokubu
Sato will become the new general technical director on October 1, coinciding with the Japanese Grand Prix. It’s uncertain if this appointment will affect Marc Marquez’s decision to stay with Honda or switch to Gresini Ducati for 2024. Marquez mentioned the departure of Kokubu and expressed curiosity about the new faces and ideas that will come with the change. Honda executives are still trying to convince Marquez to honor his contract, but Sato’s promotion is unlikely to meet his demands. Marquez’s teammate Joan Mir also believes the changes at Honda were necessary and hopes they bring something new.
