After the Japanese 𝔉MotoGP, Marquez was fielding questions from journalists about whether he will quit or stay at Honda in 2024.

But 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia, sat next to 𝔍him in the same pre🐟ss conference, chimed in.

He joked: “Bye, bye Honda!”

Marquez awkwardly smiled back: “No, why?”

𝄹Marquez laughed out loud in response to Bagnaia’s comment.

“The kiss of Valentino,” Bagnaia sm🦹iled in reference to a famous moment from MotoGP history.

Valentino Rossi wore a t-shirt saying “bye, bye baby” at the season-ending grand prix before quitting Yamaha to join Ducati, anꦇd was kissed on his helmet.

Bagnaia was cheekily inferring that Marquez will make a similarly high-profile decision 🌊to leave Honda and link up with Gresini Duca✨ti, as expected.

“It was a very romantic podium,” Marquez earlier smiledﷺ about his 🎃third-placed finish in Japan.

Words that could clearly be understood as a 𝓀hint that he won’t represent Honda at their home r🦩ace ever again.

Marquez has been coy about his future but Ducati boss Gigi Dall’Igna dropped the biggest hint yet, afte෴r the Japanese MotoGP, that the star rider is coming to Gresini.

Bagnaia, who will be his stablemat෴e next season, is clearly enjoying the saga too.

But will Marquez have better luck at Ducati than his old ene𒉰my Rossi did, when he made his own ill൩-fated move?
