The six-time “MotoGP” champion, who has won all his titles in the “Honda” team, will leave it after this season, but already next year he will represent the “Gresini” satellite unit of “Ducati”. The successful Spanish motorcyclist decided that it would be better to start with a year-old “Ducati” model, than to continue struggling in the factory team “Honda”, which has been going through a difficult period in recent years.
The athlete has signed a contract with “Gresini” for only one year and does not hide from the media that he wants to check whether driving with “Ducati” will bring him the joy of competing in “MotoGP” again. The first tests in the new team for Marquez are scheduled for November in Valencia.
Meanwhile, his brother Alex Márquez, who also competes in the MotoGP championship, reveals that Márquez will consider ending his career if he doesn’t get back the joy of riding. The two will be teammates next year.
“That’s what he told me,” says the youngest of the brothers. “One year – because he wants to check if he can still enjoy this world. He’s really open with me. He said if he doesn’t enjoy it, he’ll end his career. That’s it, that’s the possibility now. I have no doubts about myself, but he have their doubts. And there are reasons for that, because I also had such reasons when I started for the Honda team last season.”
Marc Marquez has won 59 victories in the MotoGP class in his career, but in the last four seasons he has suffered from injuries and the insufficient competitiveness of his Honda motorcycle. In 2021, however, he managed to win three stages, which are the athlete’s last victories for now.
