Marc Márquez left Repsol Honda in MotoGP after ten seasons, now to compete for Gresini on a Ducati. The decision was not taken lightly, with the rider looking for competitive material in order to fight for top positions. However, there are those who criticize his choice.
We speak of Sito Pons, who stated in The Race MotoGP podcast that the rider owed loyalty to the team: ‘I can understand what Márquez did. Maybe Marc had a reason to break with HRC because it is clear that things were not working. But my character prevents me from thinking that this should be done. For me, loyalty is essential. Marc has been with Honda for a long time and has won a lot with them. And now he has decided to leave because the bike is not good’.
The historic leader of Pons also emphasized that the blame for the poor results was not solely on Honda: ‘I’m sorry to say that you can’t put all the blame on the other side when you are also responsible. […]If you are in bed because you are injured, that affects the entire project‘.
