Alex Marquez’s awkward Honda exit to MotoGP rivals Ducati: “Here’s the bike, I’m leaving!”

The brother of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez will feature in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2023 MotoGP rider line-up for Ducati, in their Gresini Racing team alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio di Giannantonio.
He has already tested their🗹 bike in Valencia this week, a stark reminder that the Marquez brothers’ bond with Honda is officially over🦋.
"I would have liked to say goodbye differently, but it is what it is,” Alex said▨ to AS after the season-finale Valencia MotoGP.
“From the first lap I had problems overheating the bike. The engine brake d🍨id not ♒work well and the bike did not run. A disaster.
“On Saturd✱ay my bike stopped for something very similar. I didn't ✨quite understand what happened.
“I told them: ‘Here's the bike I'm leaving’. I haven't asked for it fo✱r home!”

Marquez finished the season 17th in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP standings. Honda endured a nightmare - including the first race in 40 years without scoring a single✨ point - and to make matters worse, Marc Marquez has already criticised their 2023 prototype bike.
But for Alex Marquez it is a problem of the past. He is replacing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini, who steps up from Gresini to the factory Ducati team to partner new world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia.
"The Ducati looks good and I'm looking forwar▨d to doing things right and♒ building,” Alex said.
“We will have the means to do so. I'm lo🥃oking forward to seeing if the Ducati garden is as green as they ജsay.”
