MotoGP podcast: The origins of seismic Marquez-Honda split
“It’s official: Marc Marquez is leaving Honda and will soon be announced as a rider for Gresini Ducati in the 2024 MotoGP season. Marquez, considered the greatest rider of his time, is leaving a legendary and once-dominant team in the middle of his contract to join Ducati’s lowest-priority team and ride an older bike. In an episode of The Race MotoGP Podcast, Simon Patterson, Valentin Khorounzhiy, and Matt Beer discuss the events leading up to this significant moment, which have roots that extend further back than one might expect. They dissect the issues at Honda and speculate on what Marquez’s future with Ducati might hold, including Cal Crutchlow’s prediction of immediate domination. The panel also considers how Ducati’s current star riders will react to Marquez joining their ranks. This move has generated excitement for the future of MotoGP, and the podcast also offers predictions for Honda’s future and the potential return of Marquez, along with the personal consequences for the hosts. Available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.”
