Marquez is contracted to Honda until the end of 2024 on the bigges﷽t-money deal in the sport but his hopes of a seventh premier class championship evaporated in the early weeks of this year, and already look bleak for next year.

But Lorenzo, who ended his own career as Marquez’s Re🥀psol Honda teammate, advises🎃 him to respect his contract before searching for a new home.

"If Marc, in quoteꦇs, leaves Honda lying around, it would look very bad,” three-time MotoGP champion Lorenzo told . 

“It would look fatal. We must also remember tha🎶t in the Jerez 2020 race, he passed the riders as if thꦫey were from Moto2. And the bike wasn't doing very well either.

"I ꧟believe that you have to be tough and mature, and I would like Marquez to [see out] his contract with them. 

“🍌It is not the same as F1, but, for example, Fernando Alonso is 42 years old, Marquez is 30.

"Yes, it is true that Marc has many more injuries than F🐎ernando, motorcycles a🌞re more physical and dangerous than cars.

"But wait one more year, finish well with Honda⛎🅘, and then at 31 you go to KTM to test. 

“Or with Ducati, two more year🎃s♛ to win your ninth and tenth title.”

KTM, who share Red Bull👍 as an influential sponsor with Marquez, are regularly linked as his potential escape route from Honda.

They have been candid with their hope to run more than four b෴ikes by 2025.

Marquez said about KTM at the British MotoGP last weekend: "I didn’t t🍸alk to them. If my manager talked to them? I dꦑon’t have this information.”

Lorenzo reacted 𓆉to that: “Marc and KTM will have had conversations. 

“I am sure of that, I don't 🍒kno꧃w if they will have been satisfactory or not.”

But Lorenzo reiterated his 2🍃024 hope: “I believe that Marc would have to stay at Honda. For various reasons. 

“I believe that Honda h🌟as had a Marc who, due to tꦚhat injury in Jerez 2020, has [missed] half of all the races to date. 

“And they haven’t cut him a penny [of his salary]. And they could h𒉰ave done it.

"Honda has behaved very well. And Honda'🍃s intention is not to be among the last. Honda is trying. It’s a๊nother thing if they succeed...

"Surely he has the worst ✱bike ever, but they are trying. 

“Out of loyalty he would have to staไy and now Marc would have t𝕴o be supporting Honda.”
