After 11 years together and six world titles, Marquez and Honda will part ways at the end of the current campaign after both parties mutually agreed to do so.
This follows an immensely difficult season for Marquez on the RC213V, which has yielded just one grand prix podium in 15 rounds so far.
He will move to the Gresini Ducati squad in 2024, which was announced on Thursday at the Indonesian Grand Prix, to ride a year-old Desmosedici.
Marquez has made no secret of the difficulties he faced in coming to this decision, particularly as it meant leaving behind his long-standing Honda crew.
But speaking on Thursday in Indonesia, Marquez did not rule out the possibility of reuniting with Honda in the future when he was asked about who should replace him.
“I will not go there,” he said. I will not go on that point.
“Of course, I have some good names there on the table. But it’s more about rumours, and I already understand with my rumours that with 100 rumours, one is true.
“Which one, you don’t know.
“I wish the best for Honda, and for me it’s not a 'bye-bye'. It’s a 'see you later'. I wish to cross our futures again in the next years.”
