The big prize from home arrives for Honda. Motegithe track owned by the winged firm, receives the Motorcycle World Championship and does so, of course, with the only doubt that is in the air and that is the possibility that Marc Márquez (Honda)eight-time motorcycling world champion, leaves the team, stops fulfilling, with the authorization of his factory, the remaining year of his contract (2024) and signs for the team of the ex-pilot Fausto Gresininow deceased, who uses the invincible Ducati ‘Desmosedici’a real temptation for someone who has lived through years of desperation at the command of the Honda RC213V.
Despite everything, despite the fact that Marc Márquez himself said a few weeks ago that “everything would be resolved between India and Japan”, the champion from Cervera (Lleida) has declared that there will be no announcement about his future in Japan either. Asked about the many times that it has been written that he is leaving Honda and the many times that it has been said that he signed or had already signed for Gresini, Márquez insisted before the cloud of journalists who surrounded him in the Motegi press room that “ None of you are inside my head and, therefore, it is impossible for you to know what I think, since only two people know.”

Márquez did acknowledge that there will be no announcement about his future. “We continue working hard with Honda and with my entire team to improve our situation. The weekend in India was a breath of fresh air for everyone and good information to continue fighting in order to see ourselves, once again, among the best. You comment now that, perhaps, Honda will make me change my mind without knowing that, perhaps, my opinion has already been made up.”
“No one is in my head. Many say that Honda is trying to get me to change my mind when, perhaps, I have already changed my mind”
It is evident that, being at the Honda headquarters, Márquez acknowledged that he will have more meetings than usual “Well, we are in Japan and all those responsible for our factory are here. and, therefore, we have many things to comment on with the aim of improving for the immediate future.” The eight-time world champion repeated that he has never said to leave or stay. “I’m just saying that I want the best for the project and I’m working on it, showing that my dedication remains total. My relationship with Honda is not a normal relationship. We have been together for a long time and Honda has given me everything and I have given myself completely. We have shared fantastic moments. I insist, it is a very special relationship.”
It seems, despite the fact that the announcement is continually delayed, that Márquez is clear about it, among other things because he has criticized that the first material, not just the ‘proto‘ which he tried in Misano, he doesn’t like it. “I insist, I am clear. I have no doubts about myself and, although we are working hard, we want to improve as soon as possible.”
While Márquez was talking like this, Takaaki Nakagamiofficial Honda driver in the team Lucio Cecchinello, almost begged Marc to stay at Honda “because he has been the architect of this bike, who has won the titles and who masters its set-up like no one else. If Marc left us, the impact would be maximum, because his talent is incredible.”
