Marc Marquez says it’s a case of never say never when it comes to the question of whether🐼 or not he will ever ride for a different manufacturer in MotoGP in the future.

Marquez will have a new team-mate next season when Jorge Lorenzo joins the Repsol Honda team from Ducati, with Dani Pedrosa leaving at the end of this season💜.

The reigning champion has signed a new two-year deal with Honda and while Marquez has refused to rule out the potential of switching to a differe𒆙nt manufacturer in the future, for now he feels he will always be with Honda.

“You never know, but if you ask now I say I will stay always with Hon�𒆙�da because it is what I feel and I signed for two more years because I feel this,” he said.

“But you never know because when you change to another manufacturer it is because you need some other motivation orඣ something different. But at the moment I don’t need this, I’m happy where I am and I feel really good with the Honda company and I feel that they respect me a lot.

“I𒆙t is something more than the performance or the salary or something, if you feel big rꦇespect inside a big manufacturer, this is the key.”

Marquez co✤ntinues to lead the championship b♕y 23 points from Valentino Rossi despite finishing 16th at Mugello after sliding off early in the race.

He is now looking ahead to this weekend’s race at Catalunya in the wakeꦰ of a positive test at the circuit𝔍.

“Mugello was a difficult 💃weekend for us but we know t🔯he problem a little bit so we already forget Mugello because in the morning time we were very fast, but in the afternoon with the other front tyre we were struggling a lot,” Marquez said.

“I was not able to manage in the right way in Sunday’s race but anyway, here, on the test two weeks ago I felt really good, confident. It is not one of the best circuits for me but I have been on the podium many times and I have won a few races ꧑here in Moto2, 125 and one time MotoGP, so I’m looking forward to a h꧒ome GP.”
