Marc Marquez – motorrio.com – Rumor itu akhirnya terbukti benar!! Setelah beberapa saat terakhir rumor mengenai tidak betahnya Marc Marquez di Repsol Honda Team berhembus, hari ini HRC mengumumkan berakhirnya petualangan tahun bersama Marc Marquez.
Ketidakpuasan akan performa motor Honda yang jeblok di beberapa tahun belakangan, ditambah cedera parah Marc Marquez (MM), memperparah keinginan MM untuk segera meninggalkan Honda – walaupun masih ada sisa kontrak setahun, dari kontrak jangka panjang dengan Honda sampai dengan akhir 2024 – dan pindah ke pabrikan lain, karena MM sendiri masih memiliki keinginan menjadi juara dunia ke tujuh kalinya di ajang MotoGP. Rumor terkuat yang beredar, MM bakal tandem kembali dengan adiknya, Alex Marquez di Ducati Gresini, seperti saat di era Repsol Honda Team 2020.
@hondaracingcorporation – Honda Racing Corporation and Marc Marquez to end collaboration early by mutual agreement
Honda Racing Corporation and Marc Marquez have mutually elected to terminate their four-year contract prematurely at the end of the 2023 MotoGP World Championship season.
With a year still remaining on the four-year contract between HRC and Marc Marquez, both parties have mutually agreed to end their collaboration upon completion of the 2023 MotoGP World Championship season. Both parties agreed it was in their best interests to each pursue other avenues in the future to best achieve their respective goals and targets.
This brings an end to 11 years of collaboration between the #93 and HRC in which they achieved six premier class World Championships, five Triple Crowns, 59 wins, 101 podiums and 64 pole positions together.
Marquez took his debut victory in the premier class aboard the Honda RC213V at the Grand Prix of the Americas in Austin, Texas in 2013 to become the youngest premier class winner and would become the youngest premier class World Champion later that year. In 2014 he defended his title and won the opening 10 consecutive races of year, going on to also claim titles in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 as an HRC rider with the Repsol Honda Team.
Both parties will continue to give their full support for the remaining rounds of the 2023 MotoGP World Championship season.
HRC wish Marc Marquez the best in his future endeavors.
