Casey Stoner also commented on the future of Marc Marquez. According to Stoner, all decisions are in the hands of Marquez, whether he wants to stay at Honda or go to another team.
Marc Marquez’s future at Repsol Honda is now in the spotlight. Marquez’s relationship with the team with the single wing logo is reportedly starting to crack. The bad relationship between Marquez and Repsol Honda became even more obvious after the manager Alberto Puig made a shocking statement about his racer.
Last month, Puig said that Repsol Honda respected Marquez’s contract, which would only expire at the end of the 2024 season. However, on the other hand Puig also emphasized that Honda is not a place for people who are unhappy.
In the midst of news of the rift between him and Honda, it was then rumored that Marquez “offered” to join KTM. However, Marquez firmly denied the rumors that were originally conveyed by DAZN journalist from Spain, Ricard Jove. “It’s a lie. I heard the rumors because one of my mechanics was joking and it was a lie,” said Marquez. In addition, recently, the boss of Ducati, Stefano Domenicali, spoke about the prospect of the manufacturer recruiting the six-time MotoGP world champion.
The decision is in the hands of Marquez. The relationship between Marc Marquez and Repsol Honda also received comments from former MotoGP world champion, Casey Stoner. Stoner believes that Honda’s future plans will affect Marquez’s future.
“For me, it depends on the commitment that Honda makes to Marc, and how far they are willing to go to make concessions for him,” said Stone. On the other hand, Stoner also said that Marquez now has full control over his own future, whether he wants to stay at Honda or move to another team.
“However, it is difficult to say what Honda will do for him,” said the 2007 and 2011 MotoGP world champion. “So it’s all up to Marc. He has to decide if he wants to show commitment to Honda or if he wants to go to another manufacturer. It’s impossible for an outsider to know the right solution,” said Casey Stoner confirmed.
