Marquez is contracted to Honda until the end of the 2024 MotoGP season, and as was visible again during last weekend’s Italian Grand Prix, the Spaniard i🍸s aboard a bike that’s not allo💎wing him to show his full potential. 

The eight-time world champion crashed out of a Grand Prix for the fourth consecutive time, however, Marquez has battled for the podium in all three of the races he’s failed to finish so﷽ far this season.

It means Marquez is once again out-performing his current bike,🦋 but at the same time the margin🃏 for error has never been smaller. 

Over his injury woes and b♈ack riding somewhere close to his best, Marquez appears back to his best which is why many see him as a title contender on the right ma𒐪chinery.

In the lead up to the Italian round Marquez alluded to Honda being his Plan A but t🃏hat he wants t🎃o be part of a winning project no matter the manufacturer. 

What looked like optimism and belief in Honda soon turned to frustratio🍸n when he crashed during Sunday’s race, as the Spaniard stood in gravel open armed as if to send a message to the Japanese brand. 

"Marc do♉esn’t have the bike to do that. At this🐲 moment the Japanese bikes are not that good like in the past for many reasons. 

"They work in a different way and have to change a lot of things inside the structure to really step up like the Eu🦋ropean manufacturers. To do this takes♊ years and years."

Dovizioso, who was recently inducted into the MotoGPꦗ Hall of Fame, ended his career with Yamaha and feels as though Japanese manu😼facturers have fallen behind those in Europe.

That’s why Marquez’s former rival thinks a switch is needed for the 30-year-old in order to fight for a world title, although he doesn’t see i𒊎t being with Ducati.

"Tꦫhat’s impossible. That’s impossible because Ducati don’t need Marc. I think that the only way to win [the title] is to go to a different brand."
