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

M🅺arquez opted to quit Honda - the team that delivered his six MotoGP titles - to join Gresini Ducati this year.

So fa♓r, 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 amount 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 listeဣning to my heart. It was just thinking about👍 what’s best for my future.

“My future is that I want to be a MotoGP ri🍌der for many more years.

“The Repsol𒁏 Honda team was my life, my career. I🧜t was super hard. My mechanics, my technicians, sponsors are there.

“I sa𒐪id to them ‘maybe I will do one more year he🦋re then finish my career because my mental health would be finished’.

“So, I took this decision. Now ⭕I can thin🍨k about which team I will ride next year for!”

Joining Gresini has resulted in the smile r𝓰eturning to Marquez’s ▨face.

“I am enjoying it,” he said.

“It’s not the same to approach a weekend thinking of being in the 💮top 10, or theꦯ top five or fight for the podium.

“This is the main reason why I took this decision - to answer to myself if I am competitive eno🥀🔯ugh.

“The answer is yes, I am competitive. Then, another thin💞g is to be extra competitive t♐o fight for the title.

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

I🌼n three rounds of the 2024 season, Marquez ha𓆉s scored two P2 finishes in sprint races, and a P4 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 a💝s a survivor just for making it to the end) finished last of the riders to complete the distance.

Marini, Maꦦrquez’s replacement at Repsol Honda, is one of just two MotoGP riders without a point this season.
