Marc Marquez Follows Valentino Rossi's Footsteps in Leaving Repsol Honda

Seatoday.com, Jakarta Marc Marquez decided to follow in the footsteps of Valentino Rossi, who also left the Repsol Honda team two decades ago. Unlike most racers who left by being 'fired', Marc Marquez and Valentino Rossi decided to leave because of their own wishes from the Repsol Honda team. Both Marc Marquez and Valentino Rossi also left after presenting the world title to the most successful team in MotoGP. Even though they have many similarities, the story of the two world champions leaving Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) has big differences.

The difference in question is the condition of the Honda, when it was abandoned by each figure with a fanatical fan base. On social media, many fans are comparing the stories of the departures of the two MotoGP stars. Some say Valentino Rossi left Honda with more honor, and some say Marc Marquez left with more honor. As is known, Valentino Rossi chose to leave when he had the upper hand with the Japanese giant. After two seasons with the Nastro Azzurro Honda satellite team with one GP500 world title, Rossi finally had the opportunity to move up to the Repsol Honda team in 2002.

Meanwhile, Marc Marquez decided to leave after presenting six MotoGP titles for Honda over the past decade. Marquez left because Honda failed to provide a competitive bike, to help him win his ninth title. Alex Marquez's older brother joined the Gresini Racing team, which uses the Ducati Desmosedici GP motorbike that is currently dominating MotoGP. On a Ducati motorbike, Marc Marquez hopes to be able to fight more often to reach the podium or win races. In your opinion, who left more honorably between the two big MotoGP stars?
