A remarkable new report on Marc Marquez’s future suggests he could leave Honda - then go back after a year.
Marquez is expected to join Gresini Ducati in 2024, despite that being the final year of his extremely lucrative Honda contract.This would enable Marquez to wrangle out of his big-money deal without having to pay a massive penalty to Honda, the report claims.
In exchange for waiving the penalty fee, Honda could ask for an option to bring Marquez back in 2025 when he is a free agent. Essentially the Japanese manufacturer would cave in to their star rider’s demand for a more competitive bike next season, which Gresini could offer him in the shape of a 2023-spec Desmosedici.
