Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Alex Marquez said his brother, Marc Marquez as a brave man after deciding to leave Honda over MotoGP 2023.
It is widely reported that Marc will join Gresini Ducati. This means Marc will be on the same team as Alex in MotoGP 2024.
“I know today is not an easy day for you. But you are brave and life will reward those who are brave,” wrote Alex on his Instagram account as reported by Crash.
“Few of us know what you’ve been through since 2020 and it’s time for you to get back to one hundred percent of the things you love most.”
Marquez actually still has one season remaining on his contract at Honda. However, Marquez and Honda have reached an agreement to end the contract.
“Honda Racing Corporation and Marc Marquez have both chosen to terminate their four-year contracts prematurely at the end of the 2023 MotoGP season,” read Honda’s statement.
Marc Marquez won six MotoGP world titles with Honda. Marquez even immediately became MotoGP world champion when he just moved up to MotoGP class in 2013.
After that, Marquez dominated MotoGP by winning the world champion title in the 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 seasons. Marquez’s greatness began to fade when he suffered a fatal accident at the start of MotoGP 2020.
Marquez had to undergo a number of operations on the right humerus bone. Even though he has recovered, Marquez has not been able to reach the level he had during the 2019 and previous MotoGP seasons.
