If we stick to the timetable set by Marc Marquez himself regarding his intentions for next year in MotoGP, things will have been set in stone in just over two weeks. It will be recalled that the eight-time World Champion has set the deadline for his decision at the Japanese Grand Prix, at the latest. This weekend, he will do his duty in India aboard an RC213V with which he no longer has any chemistry within a Repsol Honda box which he faces up to his responsibilities by no longer systematically seeking performance. on the track. A situation that his former rival Andrea Dovizioso analyzes by reminding that everything is a question of priorities to assume.
Andrea Dovizioso did not miss the call to give his opinion on the current sporting situation of Marc Marquez. His former rivals on the track have spoken out on this subject which will soon have its epilogue and which could lead to a sensational transfer of the eight-time World Champion currently official driver Honda towards a private team Gresini Ducati with satellite driver status on a machine from the previous season. But badged Ducati, and incidentally with his brother Alex.
Andrea Dovizioso poses the Marc Marquez equation: “ next year Honda won't be able to be competitive for the title, so... »
Or otherwise, he will continue with the RC123V until the 2024 expiration of his juicy contract signed in 2020, the year when all his misfortunes began... A difficult choice? Andrea Dovizioso don't see it like that. For him, you simply have to assume responsibility for choosing your priorities. In comments made on Tuttosport and relayed by InSella.it, he comments: « a driver runs to win. If he gets the opportunity to do it where he is, great. Otherwise, he goes elsewhere ».
Speaking specifically about the Spaniard's case, he explained: “ we need to know what the real possibilities of Marc Marquez are, the details of the situation. We've been talking about it for weeks. I think next year Honda won't be able to be competitive for the title, so if that is its objective, he would do well to look around ". And also think about 2025.
