Valentino Rossi felt devalued at Honda and decided to move to Yamaha, a bet that earned him at least four more world titles. Now the italian understands that Marc Márquez doesn’t have to change factory to prove anything.

‘This is something very personal, it depends on a lot. He doesn’t have to change bike. What he has to think about is if he feels good about Honda, he can continue his whole career there. That’s why it’s a very personal choice, it has to do with what he feels like, with the motivation for each race and I think everyone thinks in their own way’, Il Dottore told Motorsport.com.

It is recalled that Andrea Dovizioso commented recently that the Ducati would be ‘crazy’ if they didn’t try to hire a rider when the current contract is about to end. Márquez has a contract for another two years and by the end of 2020 will be free to change places. HRC President Yoshishige Nomura said he hoped Márquez would make a full career at HRC.
