Marc Márquez decided to move to Gresini in the 2024 MotoGP season, after ten years at Repsol Honda. Despite being familiar with the team and its members at the Japanese constructor, he decided to only bring one person with him to Gresini.
In a documentary by DAZN, the pilot explained this option. According to Márquez, it is up to him to adapt to the team and the existing work group, keeping the “family” intact:
– My influence inside the garage doesn’t have to change that Gresini family, that’s why I brought one of my Repsol team members to Gresini, but not the whole team, because they have their own family, their own environment. By changing a pilot, you can’t destroy that family, I have to adapt to it.
