Stoner won the second of his two MotoGP championships with Hoౠnda in 2011, before finishing third in his final 🌱season in the sport a year later.

His exit paved the way for Marquez to step into the preღm🌳ier class and immediately 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 n𒐪ew team.

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

“And how fꦅar they are willing to go to make concess𒁏ions for him. 

“But it's diffi🐼cult to say w😼hat Honda will do for him. 

“So it's up to Marc. He has꧟ to decide whether he wants to show commitment for Honda or whether he wants to go to a✱nother manufacturer. 

“It is impossible fo🐽r outsiders to knowไ the right solution.”

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

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

However, KTM will not confirm that they p♏lan to recruit Marquez.

Stoner spoke about the power balance in MotoGP moving to Europe, and away from Japan where Yamaha and Honda (the teams wh🔯ere he won his championships) are based.

“I understand why the Japanese manufacturers show less commitment than ꦺthe Euro🎃peas. 

“Last year Fabio Quartararo narrowly lost the ch🎉ampionship. 

“They did everything they could to win the second title in 🅺a row. Then Yamaha wﷺould be the current world champion. 

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

“Under these circumstances꧃, 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 kept in mind, as they always find their way back to the top in the end."
