Marc Márquez’s departure from Honda and his official signing with the Gresini Racing Team has generated a whirlwind of reactions and comments in the motorcycling world. Spanish former rider, Jorge Lorenzo, a three-time MotoGP champion and once a teammate of Marc Márquez, shared his insights on DAZN with Ernest Riveras.

Having been intimately familiar with the Japanese brand, Lorenzo discussed the rumored clause that would penalize Márquez for leaving Honda before the end of his contract. “I believe they allowed it. Honda has been very lenient in this regard. I’m not privy to the specifics of their agreement and whether money was involved, but I think not,” he stated. Lorenzo continued to praise Honda for their treatment of Márquez, saying, “Honda has treated Marc very well, allowing him certain liberties they could have easily denied.”

However, Lorenzo also empathized with Márquez’s perspective, understanding his desire to continue competing at the highest level. “Marc made a decision for himself. He prioritized results, happiness, and competitiveness on the track over money, comfort, and loyalty to Honda.” Márquez’s 11-year tenure with Honda yielded him 6 world championships, 59 victories, 101 podium finishes, and 64 pole positions.

The burning question now is whether Ducati will be Márquez’s ultimate destination or if he might leap to KTM in the future. Lorenzo weighed in on this speculation, saying, “Marc has chosen to take a position of greater influence, aiming to start winning races again and to have more say in his 2025 decisions, rather than spending another year with Honda.”

The motorcycling community will be keenly watching Márquez’s next moves, and his decision will undoubtedly shape the dynamics of the MotoGP landscape in the coming years.
