The Repꩲsol Honda s🎉tar rider returns this weekend for the Austrian MotoGP hoping to complete a grand prix for the first time in a dreadful season.

Although he is contr🙈acted next year to Honda, his team claimed they would not stand in his way if he demanded a move, with KTM most strongly linked.

“I saw many rumours,” Marquez told . 

“It’s normal when a project, or a rider, is in a difficu🎉lt situationꦇ that rumours appear.

“But, you know, I want to say that I will continue competing in MotoGP. Continue ✃fighting as I did in the past.

“I am working to find the best for the future.”

KTM, whose home race is in Austria t🌼his weekend, share Red Bull as a powerful sponsor with Marquez.

Their wish to increase the four bikes that they currently have on the MotoGP grid has yet to pay off, so any hope of luring Marquez may 🐓have to wait until 2025.

At Silverstone, ꧟Marquez🐻 insisted he would remain at Honda in 2024.

“During my career I w﷽as loyal to Honda and Honda were loyal to me,” Marqꦚuez said.

“We have had a special relationship since 2013. They gave me the possib꧋ility to jump to MotoGP.

“From that point I thought only of Honda, Honda and Honda because we were winning a lot, and had v༺ery good years.

“Now, I am trying to work as a rider to give all my information to our e♓ngineers, because we are in a very difficult situation.

“Not only me, also 🃏Honda, they need to change the project to continue winning. Not only wi﷽th me, but with other riders.

“A🌊s a rider I have full comღmitment to try to improve this project in 2023.”

Last time out at S♊ilverstone, an incident with Enea Bastianini brought Marquez’s race to an early conclusion.

The year,𒈔 which began injury-free, has been bꦉlighted by crashes and broken bones.

“It has be☂en a difficult first part of the season,” he said. “We didn’t approach it in the right way, we attacked too much.

“I tried to find resu🎃lts that we’re not ready for.

“In the second part ❀of the season I want to find stability without injuries. There were too many injuries in only four months.

“It’s time to be calm and rebuild confiden♏ce, and to find a base.

“It has been d💖ifficult on the mental side because I started losing confidence on the bike, los❀ing speed in some circuits.

“T🍬he target🐠 now is very different - expectations are low.”
