The༺ VR46 rider is expected to be named as Marc Marquez’s s𒐪uccessor at Repsol Honda for the 2024 MotoGP season.

Marini will sw🅠ap his satellite role to become a factory rider, moving from a smaller and newer team to one of the sport’s powerhouses, but is also jumping onto a lesser bike.

"I♑ think that Luca Marini would ♓be wrong if he decided to leave Ducati,” three-time MotoGP champion Lorenzo told . 

“It is a much bi♌g❀ger bike for him. He is a very tall rider. 

“He has already known [the Ducati] for three years and that it turn𝔉s out very well in his style of riding.

"Now go to Honda, which is a much more delicate motorcycle, much smaller,🦂 more compact.&ཧnbsp;

“I don't think it would turn out very well. 

“It would be a step ღb🍌ackwards in terms of competitiveness. 

“I mean, at꧙ an economic level… surely at an economic level it would be much better for him𝓀.

“But, at this moment, being so young, I think he has to look at try❀in꧙g to be world champion before prioritising money.”

Marquez’🥀s desperation to challenge for the MotoGP championship resulted in his major 🐬decision to leave Honda, the team he will forever be associated with, and find a Ducati, the best bike on the grid for the past two years.

Marini ☂will essentially make the opposite move - a worse bike, unless Honda can find significant development before next year, but a more prꦦestigious position.
