Marc Marquez and Honda HRC are parting ways. The news that everyone was waiting for is here, reached the consensual agreement between the parties, ending an adventure in MotoGP that began together in 2013, the year of Marc's first title. Now we await the communiqué that instead confirms Marquez's arrival in Gresini, alongside his brother Alex.
Here is the official statement from HRC:
"Honda Racing Corporation and Marc Marquez have mutually agreed to terminate their four-year contract early at the end of the 2023 MotoGP World Championship season. With one year left on the four-year contract between HRC and Marc Marquez, both parties have mutually agreed to end their partnership at the end of the 2023 MotoGP World Championship season. Both parties have agreed that it is in their interest to pursue other avenues in the future to best achieve their respective goals and objectives.
This ends an 11-year partnership between 93 and HRC, during which they have together achieved six premier class World Championships, five Triple Crowns, 59 wins, 101 podiums and 64 pole positions.
Marquez scored his first premier class victory riding the Honda RC213V at the Grand Prix of the Americas in Austin, Texas, in 2013, becoming the youngest winner in the premier class and later that year would become the youngest world champion in the premier class. In 2014, he defended his title by winning the first 10 consecutive races of the year, and then captured titles in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 as an HRC rider with the Repsol Honda Team.
Both parties will continue their full support for the remaining rounds of the 2023 MotoGP World Championship season.
HRC wishes Marc Marquez the best in his future endeavors."
