Staying with Honda in MotoGP was “the easy solution” – Marquez
Last week, Honda announced its decision to part ways with Marquez by mutual agreement at the end of 2023. Gresini confirmed on Thursday that they have signed the eight-time world champion. Marquez revealed that he made his decision last Tuesday, just ahead of the Indonesian Grand Prix. He explained that he started considering leaving Honda when he realized he was taking too many risks and suffering from injuries. He had discussions with Honda during the second half of the season, but ultimately decided to go with the Gresini team for a new challenge in 2024. Marquez refused to comment on other rumors and chose a one-year contract to ensure he can enjoy the sport and have confidence in his comeback.
