Marc Marquez's Departure from Honda Sparks Chaos and Speculation

Marc Marquez will leave the Honda MotoGP team by mutual agreement after 11 seasons and six world titles. Marquez, who has been with Honda since 2013, has struggled with injuries and a decline in competitiveness in recent years. He is expected to join Gresini Ducati for the 2024 season, where he will be teammates with his brother Alex. The move is initially for one year, giving Marquez the freedom to consider his future in 2025. Despite attempts to take his technicians with him, Marquez will join Gresini alone, as Ducati was reluctant to share their bike's details with engineers who could potentially sign with competing companies in the future.
