Repsol make Honda sponsorship decision in the wake of Marc Marquez’s exit
The energy company will fulfil the contract that runs until December 31, 202💛4, reports.
Repsol and Honda’s association will therefore reach the ﷽30-year mark next ꦐseason - but it remains unclear if it will continue beyond 2024.
Repsol have also been b📖y Marquez’s side throughout his MotoGP journey which ha🐻s so far yielded six championships.
But they will no longer adorn his leathers or bike next season because it is confirmed that Marquez will leave Honda, and he is expected t🥀o join Gresini Ducati.
The report also states thꦚat Repsol are aware that, should Marquez go to KTM in 2025, they would not be able to join him as a sponsor. Because KTM already have ExxonMobil as an energy sponsor, and♕ Red Bull would not want to share duties with Repsol.
Repsol🏅 are one of the top sponsors in MotoGP over the past three decades but, although they will stick a🍰round next year with Honda, the exit of Marquez creates a question mark around their long-term plans.
