168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has shed light on a tense conversat⛄ion with Honda, where he admitted one more year in the team would end his career.

Marquez opted to quit Honda - the team that delivered his six MotoGP titles - to join🧜 Gresini Ducati🥃 this year.

So far, he has fought at the front multiple times in a stark contrast to last season, a year where he broke an unwanted personal record for the amo🌱unt of crashes.

♏“It was a super difficult decision,” he told TNT Sports about🐼 ending his Honda stay with a year remaining on his deal.

“It wasn’t listening to my heart. It was just thinking about what’s best for my fut♏ure.

“My future is that I want to be a MotoGP rider 🌸for many more years.

“The🍰 Repsol Honda team♍ was my life, my career. It was super hard. My mechanics, my technicians, sponsors are there.

“I💎 said to them ‘maybe I will do one more year here then finish my career because my mental health would be ౠfinished’.

“S🏅o, I took this decision. Now I can think about which team Iღ will ride next year for!”

Jo💎ining Gresini has resulted in the smile returning to Marquez’s face.

“I am enjoying it,” he said.

“It’s not the same to approach a weekend th🐓inking of being in the top 10, or the top five or fight for the podium.

“This is the main reason why I took this decision - to answer to myselfౠ if I am competitive enough𒆙.

“The answer is yes⭕, I am competitive. Then, another t🍎hing is to be extra competitive to fight for the title.

“Now, I am competitive to fight for the top five with the top b𒊎oys. This makes me happy.”

In t🅷hree rounds of the 2024 season, Marquez has scored two P2 finishes in sprint races, and a P⛦4 in the Qatar grand prix.

Meanwhile, his former team’s nightmare endures.

Three Hondas failed to finish the Americas MotoGP last weekend, while Luca Marini (who teammate Joan Mir described as a survivor just for making it to the eꦅnd) finished last of the riders to complete the distance.

Marini, Marquez’s replacement at Repsol Honda, is one of j🧔ust two MotoGP riders without a point this season.
