Stoner won the second of his two MotoGP championships with Honda in 2011, before finishing third in🔯 his final season in the sport a year later.

Hi⭕s exit paved the way for Marquez to step into the premier class and immediately win the first of his six MotoGP championships.

But now, at the rider and the team’s lowest ebb, Marquez must decide whether to seek a new♓ team.

"For🍌 me it depends on the commitment🐻s Honda makes to Marc,” Stoner told . 

“And how far they are willing to go to make concessions for himꦍ. 

“But it's difficult to say whꦜat Honda will do for him. 

“So it's up to Marc. He has to decide whether he wants to show commitment for Honda or whether he wants to go to another mꦕanufacturer. 

“It is🎶 impossible for൲ outsiders to know the right solution.”

KTM are the most favoured alternati♏v🌱e option at the moment.

Marquez and KTM share Red Bull as a major sponsor, and the manufacturer is seeking ways to increase their 💖quantity of bikes on the 2024 grid.

However, KTM will not confirm that they pl🍨an to recruit Marquez.

Stoner spoke about the power balanc🥃e in MotoGP moving to Europe, and away from Japan where Yamaha and Honda (the teams where🤪 he won his championships) are based.

“I understand why the Japanese manufacturers show less🔯 commitment than the Europeas.&🤪nbsp;

“Last year Fabio Quartararo narrowly lost t🔯he championship. 

“They did everything they could to win 🔯the second title in a row. Then Yamaha would be the current world champion. 

“I think Ducati's d🐻ominance at the end of last season shook and demotivated Yamaha a lot.

“Under these circumstances, it is also difficult as a manufacturer to find motivation again, since the balanc𓆉e of power is unequally distributed.”

"Honda and Yamaha should always be kept in mind, as the🐼y always find their way back to theꦦ top in the end."
