Marc Marquez and Honda have been racing together for many years now. Till the 2019 season, the Spaniard achieved immense success with the Japanese manufacturer, having won his 6th MotoGP world championship back then. However, Honda’s performance has shockingly kept getting progressively worse when compared to their European rivals, such as Ducati and Aprilia.

In recent times, there have been rumors that Marc Marquez was thinking about a move to a different team. First, people claimed that he will go to KTM to either take Brad Binder or Jack Miller’s place. Others stated that a move to Gresini Racing was imminent to join his brother, Alex Marquez . However, the Spaniard has shut down all the rumours stating that nothing is confirmed yet.

On Monday, a one day test was conducted at Misano where the 2024 bikes were tested. There were two disappointed faces at Misano which were none other than Marc Marquez and Fabio Quartararo. Marc began his work with the 2024 Honda bike with the one day test. However, he was disappointed to find out the real performance of next year’s challenger.

The Spaniard stated that the riding style for the bike was a bit different. However, the problems encountered on the 2024 bike were very similar to those on the 2023 bike. Thus, it is going to be crucial for Honda to keep working and find a solution. Currently, Ducati’s Pecco Bagnaia leads the championship, while Honda struggles to even be in the top 10.
