After announcing the termination of the contract by Honda, Marquez revealed on social media a message sent to a member of his team with whom he shared 11 years in the HRC garage (in 2024 he will change team, moving to Gresini): “It was the best decision difficult part of my life, guided by my head and courage, but not by my heart. I want to go back to being the best rider in the world, if I don’t try I’ll never know”
THE LOVE STORY BETWEEN MARQUEZ AND HONDA
A farewell full of emotion. Marc Marquez will part ways with Honda at the end of the 2023 World Championshipone year before the natural expiration of his contract: the confirmation comes directly from HRC through an official press release. Consensual resolution: this is the formula chosen to get hurt as little as possible, between two “spouses” who divorce after 11 years and 6 world championships won together in the top class. Next season Marc will join the Ducati Gresini team, with whom he has an agreement for an annual contract (only the official status is missing). Here he will find his brother Alex, with whom he had already raced together in 2020 with the official Honda.
The photo of Marquez in tears
After the official announcement of the resolution and the respective messages of thanks on social media (from Honda and from Marquez), the rider returned to writing on social media in the evening. This time the tones are full of emotion. Marc reveals a message written to a member of his team on Instagram. The background of the post is a photo of the Spaniard in tears. Marquez’s farewell, in fact, is not just for Honda, but it also concerns the historical working group who accompanied him on his side of the garage in these 11 years in HRC: “I don’t know where to start, I don’t know if I’m doing well or badly, I don’t know what will happen in the future, I don’t know if all this will be fine, but I know all that that we conquered together. It was the most difficult decision of my life, guided by the head and courage, but not by the heart. You will always be my favorite team, those always, those who supported me, those who will support me. But one thing is clear to me, I want to go back to being the best rider in the world and for this I have to enjoy the bike above all.”
“I used the mountaineer theory”
In the long story on Instagram, which contains the text of a message sent to a member of his Honda team, Marquez continues: “I used the mountain climber theory from the book you gave me. If I can climb Everest in three days, why climb it in five? Logically it is much riskier to do it in three days, you expose yourself much more and you might not succeed, But if I don’t try I’ll never know. You always told me to follow my instincts, because in terms of character and attributes, no one can beat you. And I followed this suggestion. In the end it is right that the heart speaks, as you well know, our relationship is very special for this reason I hope our paths cross again. Let’s enjoy these six holidays that we have left this year.”
