Marc Marquez explains the reason why he feels at home in the Repsol Honda team all this time.
Misano, runganSport — Talented young racer from Cervera, Marc Marquez rose to MotoGP in the 2013 season with Repsol Honda.
His racing contract with the Japanese manufacturer is active until the end of the upcoming 2024 season, with the possibility that it can be extended again according to the agreement of both parties.
Many people are curious about how Marquez performs with other teams or motorbikes, considering that he has never left Repsol Honda.
But Marquez himself has a clear answer why he feels at home with the Orange team?
Many think because the racer with the start number #93 gets a good pay at Honda, but this theory is wrong because Marquez himself never calculates the salary.
As happened in 2020 ago, Marquez intends to return his full year’s salary to HRC because he feels he doesn’t deserve it, after missing one day of the competition season, at that time Marquez had an accident that broke his arm.
Interviewed by The country, the eight-time world champion confirmed he had made the request to the Tokyo manufacturer.
“Yes. If we implement the contract, however, they will have to reduce my salary because I only had one race.
I felt compelled to have that conversation. But they respect me and I am very grateful to them.” say Marquez as reported Tuttomotoriweb.
Marquez has a very good relationship with Honda, it is no coincidence that he has signed a contract extension until 2024 and for now he is not thinking about changing the team in the future.
“There are a lot of people who wonder why I’m still at Honda, because I haven’t changed teams.
But it’s not just the bike and money that binds you to the manufacturer and the team, there are sentimental ties too.
This isn’t bullshit. To others you are a number, but here I don’t feel like a number. It’s hard to find in the competition.” clear Marquez why it is difficult for him to leave Honda.
Humane treatment, as well as economical and technical, convinced Marquez not to think about turning to other manufacturers.
