We will know where Marc Márquez (Repsol Honda Team) will ride in 2024 in the next three weeks! Indeed, n°93 confirmed during the Misano Test on Monday that he would announce his decision around the Indian and Japanese Grands Prix.

The eight-time world champion said he had three options for next season, “plan A, plan B and plan C”, and only “one or two people” in his entourage knew what the possibilities were.

After the debut of the first prototype of the 2024 Honda RC213V, the Spaniard said: “The riding style is very different but, in the end, the problem is the same, so we have to keep working. Of course we always hope for more. If that’s the base, if that’s the bike, then we’re off the mark. We have to work and change a lot of things.”

“It’s true that there are new engineers. They start with this new motorbike, then they will get to work. They haven’t worked on this new project for a long time. Let’s see if they can turn our fortunes around.”

“An engineer has arrived, I believe he works in aerodynamics and he works in Formula 1. We are also testing new aero elements. When I stopped in the pit, I spoke with a different face. “I don’t know him yet, but I think he’s the new project manager, although I haven’t been told.”

“There is plan A, plan B, and plan C, of ​​which I mentioned two earlier, but there are three. All three plans are very clear, I know exactly what needs to be done for each one, but time is running out, there are deadlines. I will take decisions on India and Japan.”
