After seven great prizes disputed, Ducati has proven to be the clear dominator of the MotoGP world championship. The data is there, without going any further, last weekend during the German Grand Prix, all the motorcycles of the Italian manufacturer entered the top 10 positions.
In addition they were also three Ducatis those that formed the podium, that of Jorge Martin, that of Francesco Bagnaia and of Johann Zarco. With this they complete 33 consecutive races in which at least one Ducati gets into the top three. In the same period of time, Márquez has only reached the top three positions in four timeswhich could make you consider his departure from Honda.
The situation in your team is critical. The man from Cervera did not take part in the race on Sunday because he fell again in the previous warm-up session and ended up counting nothing more and nothing less that five falls in the whole weekend. Furthermore, Márquez has been unable to complete a race this season. He has only played three and He has retired in all of them.
The Spaniard is fed up with the situation that can barely stay on the bike. Márquez has fallen a total of twelve times this season. This information may lead to criticism of its handling, and it is true that it is not the most cautious on the line, but the reality is that the stability of the Honda currently it is practically non-existent.
Proof of this is that it is not only Márquez who has this problem. His teammate Alex Rins, fractured tibia and fibula during the Italian Grand Prix due to a crash. Therefore, the situation has reached a point where it is no longer that the bike does not compete, it is that it is not safe.
During this stretch of the season, the departure of the six-time MotoGP champion from Honda to end up riding a Ducati. It is clear that, for the moment, the Japanese company does not seem to find the key so that Márquez has a motorcycle that makes him compete for the World Cup.
Everything indicates that if the situation does not improve, the Catalan pilot could leave Honda in 2024 at the end of his contract and perhaps end up in a team where he is offered the most reliable bike on the gridthe Ducati.
