Marc Marquez gives ultimatum: backstory from Jorge Lorenzo

Former MotoGp rider Jorge Lorenzo has commented in very clear terms on the situation that Marc Marquez is experiencing at Honda. According to the Mallorcan centaur, the number 93 has given a real ultimatum to the Japanese manufacturer. “With Márquez they have won so many world championships, because of his talent, his attitude, his physical condition…because he is an incredible rider. But, on the other hand, he is a very special rider, who needs very specific characteristics on the bike,” Lorenzo said in an interview with Dorna.

“They completely followed the Marc Márquez route; and it seems that the Marc Márquez route is only suitable for Marc Márquez. And for the rest of the riders it becomes very difficult to get results. The Honda is a bike with which only Marc can win championships. It seems that the love affair between Marc and Honda is not the same, something has changed. Probably because Marc was used to winning almost every year with Honda.”

“Now, after three years without wins, this love for Honda is a bit over. We will see if they can improve this love affair a little bit or the relationship will drift further apart. Only time and results will tell. But it seems that Marc has given an ultimatum to Honda, not only in private, but also speaking in public.”
