Marquez will leave Repsol Honda for Gresini Ducati in the 2024 MotoGP season, leaving behin▨d team manager Puig.

But, at the Qatar MotoGP, the outgoing🗹 Marquez has delivered a blunt reminder of🍨 his boss’ importance to the rejuvenation of Honda.

“For me, and I have said it many times, and I continue to say ♛it, I know that there are people who criticise Alberto,” Marquez told . 

“But normally people 𝕴who are honest have few friends. 

“Alberto has always shown me he is honest.

“If he haꦯs a thought, he can listen to you,💝 but then he has his own thought and reasons it to you. 

“I think that A💟lberto is fundamental within the Honda project. 

“There are many times in which a te🐽am manager cannot decide everything and, no matter how much you want to do some thi🌳ngs, there is a group, there is a 'staff' that decides things together. 

“But, for me, Alberto has ve꧑ry good ideas for the future for Honda. 

“I think it would be a mistake for 🌼him to come out of this upset, because he has always been very clear and has▨ had a project in mind. 

“Some things have been done and other things have not, but I have always 🐻liꩲked his ideas.”

Honda, who have under-performed for two💙 years now, face the daunting prospect of a season without Marquez next year.

They are set to appoint Luca Ma🦩rini as his replacement, alongside Joan Mir.

The Japanese manufacturer is also intent on making behind-the-scenes chan🐲ges in their garage, t🎃o revamp their technical development.

And they could receive concessions next year. Marquez has backed the idea to help Ho෴nda🥂 get back on their feet.
