Valencia MotoGP: Luca Marini: Repsol Honda? “News will come soon”
But, according to the Italian, 💝everything is still on course to replace Marc Marquez in 2024.
“News will come soon. There is not much💯 I can say at the moment, we will see in the nextꦅ few days,” Marini said of his future.
However, his words on why the timin🎐g is right to join a factory team left little doubt as to where he will be riding next se🍒ason.
"It has always been my dream to be in a factory team, develop a bike and bring the manufactur♍er to victory. So, in my opinion, it’s the righཧt moment," Marini said.
"There was this opportunity because, a💯fter Marc’s decision, there was a shock for everyb♏ody.
"But I think that in general, if not next year, this is something that was gওo๊ing to happen [for me] in the future.
"So now there is a good opportunity for mౠe, and I will try to do my best and this is the maximum that I can say for now."
Marini, who has raced ꦕfor his brother's VR46 team since arriving in MotoGP in 2021, then effectively said farewell to his current team:
It was a fantastic journey. I shared 💖the best mཧoments of my career with the team," Marini said.
"I want to say thanks to all the group now, but also the members that were part of the group in the p༺ast in Mot🎐o2.
"I enjoyed every moment and I want to enjoy this weekend here in Valencia&🐲nbsp;because there is something more to do here also."
Marini is seventh in the world championship heading into this weekend's season finale but just four points behind Aleix Espargaro⭕ (Aprilia) and ten from Johann Zarco (Pramac Ducati).
Qatar winner Fabio di Giannantonio is set to take over Marini's Ducati ride at VR🍌46 next ye🐷ar, alongside triple 2023 Granꦛd Prix🎃 winner Marco Bezzecchi.
Peter🉐 has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Ma🔜rc Marquez’s injury issues.
