A💛fter the Japanese MotoGP, Mar♏quez was fielding questions from journalists about whether he will quit or stay at Honda in 2024.

But 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia, sat next to him in the same press co✃♈nference, chimed in.

He joked: “Bye, bye Honda!”

Marquez awkwardly smiled back: “No, why?”

Marquez 𝔉laughed out loud in response to Bagnaia’s comment.

“The kiss of Valentino,” Bagnaia smiled in reference to a fam🧸ous moment from MotoGP history.

Valent💛ino Rossi wore a t-shirt saying “bye, bye baby” at the season-ending grand prix before quitting Yamaha to join Ducati, and was kissed on his helmet.

Ba♔gnaia was cheekily inferring that Marquez will make a similarly high-profile decision to leave 🃏Honda and link up with Gresini Ducati, as expected.

“It was a very romantic podium,” Marqܫuez earlier smiled about his third-placed꧅ finish in Japan.

Words that꧋ could clearly be understood as a hint that he won’t represent Honda at their home race ever again.

Marq🌜uez has been coy about his future but Ducati boss Gigi Dall’Igna dropped the biggest hint yet, after the Japanese MotoGP, that the star rider is coming to Gresini.

Bagnaia, who will be his stablemate next season, is clearly ℱenjoying the saga too.

But will Marquez have better luck at Ducati than h൩is old enemy Rossi did, when he m𒀰ade his own ill-fated move?
