JAKARTA - Marc Marquez has made choices in his racing career. The Spaniard decided to separate from Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) after MotoGP 2023.
The decision was tough for Marquez. This is so seen in the farewell video addressed to the Repsol Honda crew.
In fact, he burst into tears when he said goodbye to the Japanese factory crew. This decision makes the togetherness of Marquez and HRC for 11 seasons must end. He chose to terminate his contract with HRC, which remains one year ahead.
"I want to share with you through this message that I sent to the team members. I don't know where to start and I don't know if what I did was right or wrong," Marquez wrote on Instagram on Thursday, October 5 morning WIB.
"I don't know what will happen in the future, I don't know if all of this will go well, but all I know is our achievements together," he added reminiscent of togetherness.
For Marquez leaving Honda is the toughest decision in life. He then explained that the current choices did not come from his heart.
"This (separate) is the most difficult decision in my life based on thoughts and courage, not my heart. My heart will always stay with you, always. You have supported me and will continue to support me," wrote Marquez.
Even though it is difficult and emotional in conveying farewell messages, Marquez emphasized that he is still a racer who has big dreams even though he is no longer with Honda. The 30-year-old racer is determined to win the title when he is with his new team in the future.
"But I want to emphasize one thing. I want to be the best rider in the world again and I have to enjoy it. I have a theory that mountaineers in the book you gave me. If I can climb Mount Everest in three days? Why should I climb it in five days?"
"Logikanya, akan lebih berisiko jika mendaki dalam tiga hari. Anda memaksa diri lebih keras dan mungkin jadi tidak mungkin. Tapi jika saya tidak mencoba, saya tidak akan mendapatkannya," tulis Marquez.
