Timeline: How the Marc Marquez-Honda relationship collapsed
“Even after much speculation, it is still shocking to hear the official announcement of Marc Marquez’s departure from Honda next season, considering the strong relationship he had built with the Japanese factory since his debut in 2013. However, it is understandable given his desire to win more and the current limitations of the Honda RC213V. This decision did not happen overnight and can be traced back to early 2020 when Marquez struggled during pre-season testing due to the bike’s performance issues. Despite this, he signed a four-year extension with Honda just days before his injury at the opening race of the year, which ultimately derailed his championship hopes. Marquez’s departure marks a significant change in his career and highlights the challenges he has faced in recent years.”
