P1racenews AI automatic summary:
If there’s a big opportunity on the cards, Marc Marquez might struggle to resist throwing caution to the wind and going for one more win with Honda in MotoGP. But right now, his tenure risks ending with a whimper rather than the bang his 2023 form’s occasionally promised
Marc Marquez is facing the possibility of ending his successful MotoGP career with Honda on a disappointing note. Despite a podium finish at Motegi, Marquez has been struggling to replicate that performance and is unable to consistently compete at the top due to the risk of crashing. His last win was in 2021 and he came close at Phillip Island last year, but he is coming off a double-DNF weekend that has affected his confidence. Marquez recognizes the difficulties he is facing and plans to rebuild his confidence during the upcoming race weekend. He may adopt a more conservative riding style, similar to what he did after his injuries at the Sachsenring earlier this season. However, with a total of 23 crashes already, Marquez understands the need to prioritize his health and not push for wins in the remaining races.
