This is news that shatters any idea of tension between Marc Marquez and his employer Honda. The latter had to question more deeply the causes of the rupture of the first plate placed on the humerus of his pilot and which gave way, officially following the opening of a heavy window. But rather than an ongoing investigation, it is another trend arriving from Spain, with rather a noble gesture of donating his 2020 salary to Honda, due to a season marked by the forfeit. The manufacturer refused.
Between Marc Marquez et Honda it is a matter which has been extended until 2024, a deadline which will then mark 11 years of collaboration between a pilot and a manufacturer in MotoGP. Unheard of in the category, at least consecutively. An idyll punctuated by titles and victories until this disastrous first Grand Prix of the 2020 season at JerezWhere Marc Marquez, in a crazy climb that was promised to posterity, fell heavily into the gravel trap. We know the rest...
Marc Marquez has principles
And this sequel was notably marked by a package until the end of the financial year. Even today, we do not know if the eight-time World Champion will be there in 2021. For his start, that seems impossible. But everything could pick up where it left off, and therefore Jerez.
The site AS, in the meantime, reveals that Marc Marquez offered to donate his 2020 salary to Honda. The manufacturer undoubtedly appreciated the approach, but did not respond favorably. This should reassure the relations between the two parties... It will be recalled that, the February 22, the Repsol Honda troops will present themselves for the 2021 season with their new pair of drivers: Marc Marquez et Pol Espargaro.
