“My ideas are t🐼he same as one month ago… No news at the moment,” he said in India.

DAZN’s theorised: “I don't see that 🐎we have any news about Marquez's future in India! 

“I rather see it being in Japan where the parties tell us they are separatin🤡g!

“And if that's not the ca♛se, and Marc stays, it may just be because le♉gally he has no option. 

“B♈ecause I think he hasn't believed in the Honda project for days!”

Hꦫonda have previously insisted that they will no𒆙t keep any rider against their will.

But, having shown Marquez their 2024 prototype at the Misano test, their plans are underway for next season, the last of their starജ🐭 rider’s current contract after which he will become a free agent.

Gresini, alongside his brꦫother, were heavily touteಞd as his shock destination.
