KTM have a longstanding interest in Marquez, while Ducati have always denied that they wa♊nt him.

Marquez is contracted to Honda for next year but rumours continue that he could engineer an early exꦓit.

"O♔f cour🎐se, there have been calls,” Marquez told . 

“When yo🐬u noti🐎ce that someone is in a difficult moment and you bet on them, there are calls, of course. 

“Whether they were from one or the other, whether one rejecteℱd or not, out of respect for all the brands, I won't say who, how, or how it happened. 

“But there have been contacts, obviously," 

The eight-time world champion has been reduced to spending the latter part of this ye✅ar testing his Honda to benefit 2024’s version, rather than seeking results.

He worryingly said about his crash-filled 2🐲023 so far: "You slow down t♎he beast I have inside with a series of blows."

For now,﷽ his commitment remains to his current employers.

"Yes, I know where I will be racing in 2024,” hꦏe said. 

“As of today, I have a contract with Honda, but they have put my name on💙 all the bikes. Someone will get it right, won't they?”

Next week’s Misano test will b▨e the first time Marquez can evaluate Honda’s plans for next season so is earmarked as a crunch day for his decision-making.

"I have never said that my future ♛depends on th😼e Misano Test from my own mouth,” he insisted.

“We have to look for the best solution for the project. And this is based in Austria; 🎃we're testing new aer🍃odynamics. It's different, okay, but we are trying something different.

"ꦇIn Misano, you already start to see a little bit of the 2024 project, and how it will go. Whether it will go better or worse. You begin to sense how 2024 will go. 

“We haveꩲ to keep working on the prไoject to find the best solution in every sense.

▨“When you're in a situation like this, you have to work together. O♌therwise, it's impossible to get out."

Marquez heads to the San Marino MotoGP this weekend hoping to avoid a repeat of l🉐ast weekend in Barcelona, where on Friday the four Hondas were the four slowest bikes in p🏅ractice.
