Ston🥂er won the second of his two MotoGP championships with Honda in 2011, before finishing third in his final season in the sport a yꦕear later.

His exit paved the way for Marquez to step into the premier class and immediately win the first♌ of his six MotoGP championships.

But now, at♛ the rider and the team’s lowest ebb, Marquez must❀ decide whether to seek a new team.

"For me it depends on the commitments Honda makes to Marc🅘,” Stoner told . 

“And how far they are willing to go to make conc💮essi♏ons for him. 

“But it's difficult to say what Honda will do f🌞or him. 

“So it's up to Marc. He has to decide whether he wan🎶ts to show commitment for Honda or whether he wants to go to another manufacturer. 

“It is impos🎃sible ꦰfor outsiders to know the right solution.”

KTMꦰ are the most fa༺voured alternative option at the moment.

Marquez and KTM share Red Bull as a major sponsor, and the manufacturer is 🎃seeking ways to increase✅ their quantity of bikes on the 2024 grid.

However, KTM will not🥀 confirm that they plan to recruit Marquez.

Stoner spoke about the power balance in Mot💫oGP moving to Europe, and away from🥂 Japan where Yamaha and Honda (the teams where he won his championships) are based.

“I understand why th🧜e Japanese manufacturers show less commitment than the Europeas. 

“Last year Fabꦫio Quartararo narrowly lost the championship. 

“They did everything they could to win the second title in a row. Then Yamaha would꧋ be the currℱent world champion. 

“I think Ducatಌi's dominance at the end of last season shook and demotivated Yamaha a lot.

“Under these circu🧔mstances, it is also difficult as a manufacturer to find motivation again, since the balance of power is unequally distributed.”

"Honda and Yamaha should always be kept in mind, as they always f🌟ind their way back to the top in the end."
