This weekend’s Japanese MotoGP is the home race for Mar꧅quez’s manufacturer, and he is expected to hold crucial talks with them abo🃏ut his future.

The expectation within the paddock is that Marquez will try to get 🐷out of the final year of his Honda contract to join Gresini Ducati in 2024.

He was asked by if Honda will allow him to exit, and he replied: "It's not just my decision and I don't push thi💝s situation to the limit. 

“I have given a lꩲot to Honda but Honda has also given a lot to me. 

“We have a relations🍌hip of great respect, very good, and I'm not the rider who likes to force the hand. 

“This must be good for both parties."

Honda, earlier this seas෴on, claimed that no rider would be forced to stay if they wished to leave.

Marquez 🔴was pushed on whether the manufacturer would allow him to quit before the expiration of his current deal, at the end of 2024.

"So far I haven't spoken ab✃out this directly with them,” he insisted. 

“We have had 🐽some meetings, yes, but all constructive to try to improve and to take a step🍰 for the Honda HRC project in the future, given that it is not at the level where it should be now.

"I don't know [if Honda will permit him to quit]. They also have to see what my prior🐻ity is, I still honestly haven't told them what I think and꧟ what I don't. 

“Everything is still at stake. It's a stran🦹ge, difficꦉult and not nice situation. 

“But we have to look for the best for everyone.”

Perhaps out of respect to Honda on their home turf, Marquez says that he will not co﷽nfirm his decision for 2024 this weekend at Motegi.

"Nothing new this weekend,” he said. 

“Like every year there will be a meeting with Honda: the head of HRC, the president, 🌱arrives here. 

“I have a contr꧅act for next year, but it is certain thꦚat we are trying to improve the project for the future.”
