JAKARTA Marc Marquez's future in the Honda factory team is uncertain. The six-time MotoGP champion never found the best performance, after continuing to be injured.

Throughout the 2023 racing season, Marquez has not won once. Even he missed three times, each at MotoGP Argentina, the United States, and Spain. Three failed to finish in Portugal, France, and Italy. And did not start in Germany and Beland

Marquez's physique, who is not yet fit, plus Honda's poor performance this season, has exacerbated the achievements of the six MotoGP champion.

"Marc is in a tough situation. He's a racer with a special talent, but is in a situation that doesn't allow him to show that great ability. Marc must immediately make a decision so that his performance returns to its peak," said Alex Rins, his fellow Spaniard as quoted by DAZN.

Motor racing legend Mick Doohan and Wayne Rainey suggested that Marquez change the atmosphere. Marquez's former colleagues at Honda, Jorge Lorenzo and Dani Pedrosa also have the same opinion.

"I think Marc can move to another better team, Ducati for example," said Lorenzo.

A month ago the Head of the Honda Racing Team, Alberto Puig, issued a statement that Marquez was given the opportunity if he wanted to change teams.

"We have a contract, but every individual has the right to determine the future of his life. Honda is not a company that forces its members to stay together, if they don't feel comfortable anymore," Puig said, as quoted by Motorsport.

Marquez has had 11 seasons with Honda since he made his debut as a MotoGP rider in 2013. A total of six seasons of which he finished with the title of champion. Marquez's last contract with Honda only ended in 2024.

"I'm in a slumped situation throughout my career. Anyone can't decide about the future if I'm in a condition like I'm currently experiencing. Now all I need is recovery, thinking, breathing, and talking to the whole team," said Marquez.
