Marc Marquez was forced to let go of his hold on a Honda factory which until then had relied solely on his talent to advance its MotoGP project. The driver being so exceptional, we abandoned ourselves to such an extent in Tokyo that we ended up carrying out day-to-day business while victories and titles fell into HRC's hands. But Marc Marquez may be an outstanding champion, but he is no less a man, and he has started to get injured. Then to be forfeited. The harsh reality then caught up with the winged coat of arms which revised its copy in 2022 by presenting an RC213V for everyone. The eight-time World Champion took note of this. And he will adapt. At first only…
Because from now on, and as long as he is fit for duty, he will work to make this motorcycle his, like the previous one. Which undoubtedly means a certain exclusivity... Certainly, the offseason demonstrated that Honda worked well on his truly new RC213V, attracting compliments and, above all, the same comments, from his four pilots. But for Marc Marquez, for the moment this means having to go through a period of adaptation…
The Spaniard was well aware of the situation and all the more so because he perfectly analyzed the events that set it up: “ the previous years, 2019, 2018… the problems were already there, exactly the same problems as last year, but at the end of the season I won the championship. So why are you going to make a big change if you keep winning? This year the big change came because the results did not arrive », coldly analyzes Marc Marquez.
Marc Marquez: “ the 2021 Honda was a bike that could win the championship«
We will remember thatAlberto Puig commented that with a Marc Marquez in full possession of his means, the crowns of the last two campaigns would have returned to him, with all due respect to Joan mir et fabio quartararo who would thus not have acquired their current fame. A rewriting of history that the Cervera phenomenon seems to validate when we read about Motosan : " I think the 2021 bike, and I already said this in some interviews last year, was a bike to win the title. It's a bike with which I won three races in not very good conditions, but it was a bike that could win the championship ».
Now that the situation has changed, his objective is to adapt to the new bike after the numerous changes made at Honda. " You have to understand that this year they made a big change. Now it's time for me to adapt my style to this bike ". But he immediately adds: “ but also to bring this new motorcycle closer to my side, towards my style ". This conclusion is not insignificant and sounds like a warning to his three other distinguished colleagues and perhaps also to an external candidate in the running to become his teammate from 2023. At least everyone is informed that Marc Marquez wants to remain master of his home.
