Marc Marquez has confirmed what was almost taken for granted anyway - that he stays with Honda. The four-time world champion has not yet extended his contract, but it is, so to speak, just a formality. The Spaniard will most likely stay with Honda for two more seasons, as all contracts with the best racers in other teams have been signed for two seasons, and then there will be a lot of events on the market again, and there will be more opportunities for transfers.
Jorge Lorenzo played Valentino Rossi, and by delaying the extension of his collaboration with Yamaha, he only forced Rossi to put an offer on the table that he could not refuse, and he himself decided to transfer to Ducati a few weeks later. After the 2018 season, there will be a potentially vacant seat on the Yamaha, which Marquez could also flirt with if Honda doesn’t find a way out of the crisis by then.
Yamaha brought Maverick Vinales to their camp instead of Lorenzo, so Marquez had no choice but to continue trying his luck at Honda. ”I haven’t signed a contract yet, but I will be driving a Honda next season,” he said. “The contract has to be well written. This year is an exception, because everything was moving too fast, which I don't like the most. "
Marquez, like most MotoGP viewers, can hardly wait to see how Lorenzo will fare on the Ducati and how good he will fare on the Yamaha Vinales. “It will be interesting to see how Jorge will do on the Ducati. How a racer of his caliber will fare on such an engine, and it will also be interesting to see how Vinales will fare on a Yamaha. ”
