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

His exit paved the way for Marquez to stꦑep into the premier class and immediately win the first of his six MotoGP championships.

But now, at the rider and the team’s lowest ebb, Marq🎉uez must decꦚide whether to seek a new team.

"For me it depends on the commitments Honda makes to Ma꧑rc,” Stoner told . 

“And how far they are willing to go to make con⛄cessions f🦩or him. 

“But𓄧 it's difficult to say what Honda will do for him. 

“So it's up to Marc. He has to decideဣ whether he ꦬwants to show commitment for Honda or whether he wants to go to another manufacturer. 

“It is impossible ꦐfor outsiders to know the right solu💃tion.”

KTM are the most favoured alternat𝔍ive option at the mom♕ent.

Marquez and KTM share Red Bull as a major sponsor, and the manufacturer is seeking ways to increa🐎se their quantity of bikes on the 2024 grid.

Howeve𓂃r, KTM will not confirm that they plan to recruit Marq𝓡uez.

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

“ꦬI understand why the Japanese manufactur﷽ers show less commitment than the Europeas. 

“Last year Fabio Quartararo narr💫owl🅺y lost the championship. 

“They did everything th👍ey could to win the second title in a row. Then Yamaha would be the currওent world champion. 

“I think Ducati'൩s dominance at the end of las🅷t season shook and demotivated Yamaha a lot.

“Under these circumstances, it is also difficult as a manufacturer to find motivation again, sin🥀ce the balance of powe🧸r is unequally distributed.”

"Honda and Yamaha should always be kept in mind, as they alwa🐭ys find their way back to the top in the end."
