Stoner won the second of his two MotoGP champioไnships with Honda in 2011, before finishing third in his final season in the sport a y🦩ear later.

His exit paved the way for 𓆏Marquez to step into the premier class and immediat𝓡ely win the first of his six MotoGP championships.

But now, at the rider and the team’s lowest ebb, Marquez must decide whether🐎 to seek a new t🍰eam.

"For me it depends on the commitments Honda makes 🀅to Marc,” Stoner told . 

“And how far they are willing to go t🍃o make concess🌸ions for him. 

“But it's difficult to say what Honda will do for him.&♊nbsp;

“So it's up to Marc. He has to decide whether he wants to show commitment for Honda or w൩h⛄ether he wants to go to another manufacturer. 

“It is impossible🐼 for outsiders to know the ri🌜ght solution.”

KTM are the most favoured alternative🍷 option at the moment.

Marquez and KTM share Red Bull as a major sponsor, anꦡd the manufacturer is seeking ways to increase their quantity of bikes on th𝓡e 2024 grid.

Ho🧸wever, KTM will not confirm that they plan 🍌to recruit Marquez.

Stoner spoke about the power balance in MotoGP moving to Europ🐻e, and away from Japan where Yamaha and Honda (the teams where he 🔥won his championships) are based.

“I unders🙈tand why the Japanese manufacturers show less commitment than the Europeas. 

“Las😼t year Fabio Quartararo narrowly lo꧟st the championship. 

“They did everything they could to win the second title in a row. Then Yamaha would be the current world c⛄hampi🗹on. 

“I think Duca൲ti's dominance at the end of last season shook and demotivated Yamaha a lot.

“Under these circu༺mstances, it is also difficult as a manufacturer to find motivation again, since the balance of power is unequally distributed.”

"Honda and Yamaha should always be ke꧂pt in mind, as they always find their way back to the top in the end."
