Honda have denied that they tried to tempt 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez into staying with a huge financial offer.

Marquez has not looked backwards since ending the most lucrative rider contract in MotoGP a year early to join Ducati.

But it was claimed in Spain that Honda made one final attempt to keep him - with a four-year deal worth a total of €100m - whic🍸h Marquez rejected.

Honda respond to €100m Marc Marquez "lie"

“Lie! Pure lie! It's totally false! Lie,” Honda team boss Alberto P🐲uig told El Periodico.

“Honda never t𒉰ried to keep Marc with money. Never.

“I repeat: Honda u𒆙nderstood that he had to let him go free and so he did.

“Neither Ma꧒rc asked for anything, nor did Honda demand ꧃any consideration. Never. Never.

“The year that Marc had le🍷ft 🦋on his contract was never a problem.

“And, I repeat, there was ཧno offer, that is a lie. Marc didn't wan🃏t money, he wanted a winning bike.”

After a season on a year-old Ducati, Marquez was promoted to their factory team and 😼has taken 2025 by s🐓torm.

He leads the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:MotoGP standings - and would have an even greater༒ advantage if he didn’t make two costly errors in Texas a⛦nd Jerez.

“If you add a very, very, v🍒ery special rider, the result is what we are seeing,” Puig said.

“I don't think there's much debಌate, or that anyone is surprised by what Marc is doing and how he's doing it.

“You 🦋don't have to be a great mathematician to guess somethi🧔ng like that.

“When Marc signed for Ducati it was to be at t🍌he front, that's why I find it funny when people go crazy comparing data, what if the ‘23, if the 🐽‘24, if the ‘25, what if the ‘24.0.

“I repeat: what everyon𒀰e knew was going to happen is happening.”

Ducati continue 𝕴to dominate MotoGP, with the five highest-placed riders.

But sixth is LCR Honda’s Jo𝔍hann Zarco who brilliantly won last weekend’s French Mo𒊎toGP.

Zarco’s win was a stat꧙ement that Honda are on their wa𒊎y back.
