Marc Marquez has admitted the mental difficulty of no longer being “able” to win races.
“All my career has been very sweet, flowers, very easy, a lot of wins and eight world championships,” he said.“It was time to say: ‘Maybe this is the time to stop my career’.“Some people around me said ‘it’s time to stop’. But most said ‘continue’.”
Many of Marquez’s problems surround his Honda - his team and fellow Japanese manufacturer Yamaha have fallen way behind their European counterparts, initially Ducati but now also KTM and Aprilia. It has led to speculation that he could seek a new environment although, at Silverstone, he revealed his expectation to stay at Honda in 2024.“It doesn’t matter if it’s the ninth championship or the first. I will fight in the same way.“The reality is we are not ready to win. Not me, not the bike, many reasons.
“In three years I have completed just half of the races. Many injuries. It is time to rebuild confidence.
