Marc Marquez has still not officially announced where he will go next year in MotoGP and the question is sure to be asked of him during the press conference before the upcoming Indonesian Grand Prix today, around from 10:30 a.m. in our latitudes. Unless before that, he announced it spontaneously himself, in a planned intervention with Pecco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin, whereas initially he was to speak alone in another time slot. The fact remains that for the entire paddock, the subject is an open secret, and even more so since Honda authorized something which had been refused to Valentino Rossi when leaving HRC...
The news comes from Motorsport and in addition to what it announces in itself, it is one more element to be added to the transfer file of Marc Marquez in the direction of Gresini Ducati. The Italian team, a satellite of the House of Borgo Panigale, and whose title investor is the Indonesian oil company "Federal Oil" which will inevitably be in the spotlight on its lands in Mandalika this weekend, will be able to see its illustrious new driver climb on the Desmosedici during the first test of the 2024 off-season in Valencia.
Honda will have given everything to Marc Marquez, from start to premature end
Two days after the end of this campaign, the next one will begin on the same Valencia track and there is no doubt that these laps will be very useful to Marc Marquez to start doing not only the Ducati but also to his new team. Because it seems understood that he will arrive alone at Gresini Ducati, thus leaving his chief mechanic Santi Hernandez in Honda.
The Japanese brand will definitely have made no difficulty for its Spanish prodigy in fulfilling his destiny. She agreed with him to let him go a year before the end of his contract, and she will let him ride on a Ducati before the end of this year 2023, while, theoretically, he would not find himself free until the first day of 2024.
In summary, in its history, Honda will only have hindered, in this case, the Valentino Rossi, at the time when he left the winged coat of arms for Yamaha . The Doctor was therefore unable to try the M1 during the first tests of the off-season. That being said, this deprivation had no major consequences for the future...
