Marquez: Honda MotoGP atmosphere hasn’t changed since departure announcement
Eight-time world champion Marc Marquez has decided to leave Honda and join Gresini Ducati in 2024, with one year left on his current contract. Despite this change, Marquez states that the atmosphere and working relationship with his crew remains the same. He attributes his 11th place finish in practice for the Thailand Grand Prix to a lack of torque in his Honda bike, but acknowledges that Honda’s position is currently between 10th and 15th. Marquez narrowly missed out on qualifying for Q2, but remains optimistic and determined to perform his best. In an unusual incident during second practice, Marquez was hit by a winglet from Jorge Martin’s bike, briefly causing pain but not hindering his performance.
