Honda hit out at “lies, totally false” €100m Marc Marquez claim
Honda's Alberto Puig addresses🌠 claim of a last-gasp of♌fer to keep Marc Marquez

Honda have denied that they tried to tempt 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez into staying with a huge financial offer.
Marquez has not looked backwards since ending the most lucrative rider contract in MotoGP a year early to join Ducati.
But it was claimed in Spain that Honda made one final attempt to keep him - with a four-year deal w🦋orth a total of €10ꦿ0m - which Marquez rejected.
Honda respond to €100m Marc Marquez "lie"
“Lie! Pure lie! It's totally false! Li🐠e,” Honda team boss Alberto Puig told El Periodico.
“Honda neve✤r tried to keep Marc with money. Never.
“I repeat: Honda unde💟rstood that he had tꦓo let him go free and so he did.
“Neither Marc asked for anything, nor did Honda demand any considerat൩ion. 🍌Never. Never.
“The year t💦hat Marc had left on his contr꧋act was never a problem.
“And, I repeat, there was no offer, that is a lie. Marc didn't want money, he wanted a ꧂winning bike.”
After a season on a year-old Ducati, Marquez was promoted to🌱♉ their factory team and has taken 2025 by storm.
He leads the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP standings - and would have an even greater advantage if he didn’t make two costly erro⛎rs in Texas and Jerez.
“If you add a very, very, very sp𝄹ecial rider, the result is what we are seeing,” Puig said.
“I don't think there's much debate, or that anyone is surprised by what Marc is doing and how he's doing it🍌.
“꧃You don't have to be a great mathematician to guess something like🌱 that.
“When Marc signed for Ducati it was to be at the front, that's why I find it funny when people go crazy comparing🐲 data, what if the ‘23, if the ‘24, if the ‘25, what if the ‘24.0.
“I repeat: what everyone knew was going to happen is happening.🎃”
Ducati continue to dominate MotoGP, with the f💛ive highest-placed riders.
But sixth is LCR Honda’🦩s Johann Zarco who brilliantly won last weekend’s French MotoGP.
Zarco’s win was a statement that Honda are 💜on their way back.
