The 2022 Repsol Honda teammates hဣave both found pastures new, Espargaro this year with Tech3 GASG𝓀AS and Marquez next season with Gresini Ducati.

Despite Marquez’s advancing years and his troubled injury history🌸, his ex-teammate ꦫstill has faith in him to deliver.

"I totally understand the dꩲecision that Marc Marquez has made,☂” Espargaro told . 

“Every rider believes that he 💖is the best in the world at all times. 

“And I also believe that Marc Marque💫z, if not the best in history, is o♑ne of the chosen ones. 

“So Marc is still young. I feel young at 32 year💯s old and Marc is a couple younger than me.

"He is in a good moment, his brother has often tꦗold him how D♌ucati works.

“And just seeing hoꦍw KTM works in these two years compared to my time at Honda and the difference is abysmal.&n💝bsp;

“Marc wants to win and I find it great.”

Espargaro managed 🅷onꦺly two podiums in two MotoGP seasons with Repsol Honda.

Th⛎is year, his debut year with Tech3 GASGAS has been ruined by injury and wilꦍl not have a full-time ride in 2024, instead he will be restricted to wildcards and testing.

The 2024 grid will feature the remarkable sight of Marquez on a Ducati, a talking point which will exist until his🌊 earliest results become clear.
