Confirmation came during the Thailan😼d MotoGP that Honda will give Marquez permission🃏 to jump on his new bike at the postseason test in Valencia.

The courtesy from Honda means that Marquez will get his 💞earliest possible look at the machine he will ride in 2024 when hꦯe joins Gresini Ducati.

“It is very great news,” Marquez said. “I ☂want to say thanks to Honda, to all the staff, because🐎 they allowed me.

“For a rider it’🌊s important. It’s not just a one-day test. It’s a two-month test.

“If not, you ജgo on holiday in December and January with🦩out trying the bike.

“For a rider, it’s not the best. It’s li🐼ke a nightm🔯are.

“I want to say t🧸hanks to Honda bec𓄧ause they will allow me to try the bike.

“At least, I will have the first chance to understand 🌄the new style.”

Marquez will ride a 2023-spec Desmosedici next season although he has previously expressed hope that he can earn,ꦗ through on-track perꦚformance, additional upgrades.

Ducati sporting director Paolo Ciabatti told : “Everyone knows that according toꦦ our agreements, we also talked about it when there was the discussion about being able to give a 2024 bike to Marco Bezzecchi, contractually, in addition to the Lenovo team, the Pramac team has the 2024 bikes. 

“So, next year's four official bikes will🌺 be Lenovo and Pramac, while Gresini and Mooney VR46 will have the 2023 bikes, which are first and second in the championship. 

“Every year we pass the bikes from the official team, one p🎃er rider, to the satellite teams. 

“This is what will happen on the Tu♍esday after the Valencia GP.”

Marquez’s first time riding a Duc🌞ati will be on November 27, the Monday after the final Sunday race of the se🏅ason in Valencia.
