Marquez To Depart Hrc By Mutual Consent

Discussion in 'Racing & Bike Sport' started by KA77, Oct 4, 2023.

  1. Somewhat surprised there has still been no announcement from either MM or Gresini. I can’t see him just walking away from Honda without a ride for next year already agreed. Andy

  3. maybe lends weight to the Ducati factory team theory
     
  4. Paola Ciabatti was adamant Ducati were not in negotiations with Marquez. Playing devils advocate, I wonder, should Gresini sign Marquez, will it queer their contract with Ducati. Now there’s a conspiracy theory for you :joy: Andy

  5. Glad he is not going to KTM actually, because KTM is for nice people - like Dani Pedrosa :D

  6. Didn’t work for Rossi going to Ducati now did it? Only Stoner had the talent to unlock a bikes potential.

  7. Disingenuous comment. Rossi took a previously shit, sorry, unsuccessful Yamaha to a world title in the M1’s debut season and the RCV212V wasn’t the unmanageable pile of shit Marquez has been trying to ride for the last 3 years. Andy

  12. Another week goes by and still no announcement of MM’s future or team and no announcement from Honda as to who will be replacing him. I know I shouldn't but I find that somewhere between odd and curious. Andy
     
  13. I think Gigi has pretty much confirmed Gresini?

    Todays MCN IIRC

  15. That’s actually a quote from before MM announced he was leaving Honda. I really have no interest in MM, he could announce his retirement and I’d hang the flags out but my curiosity has been well and truly peaked (or should that be peeked ?) Andy
