The eight-time world champion Marc Marquez’s brother and future Gresini Ducati teammate, Alex Marquez, has stated that if his move to Gresini doesn’t work out, he may think about retiring the following year. After an arduous period, Marc is leaving Repsol Honda after 11 years to sign a one-year contract with his brother’s team, hoping to rekindle his “heart and enthusiasm” for MotoGP.

According to his brother Alex Marquez, eight-time world champion Marc Marquez may consider retiring the next year.
After 11 years, six championships, and 59 Grand Prix races, Marc will depart Repsol Honda at the end of the current campaign to join his brother Alex at Gresini Ducati.
However, following more than 700 days without a race victory, the 30-year-old has made the decision to part ways with the squad that has brought him so much success.
“We’ve already had chats,” Marquez says, “very clear” about the future as rumors swirl.”We’ve already had chats,” Marquez says, “very clear” about the future as rumors swirl.

He signed a one-year contract with Gresini and will attempt to rekindle his “heart and enthusiasm” for the game, according to his brother Alex.
Every day, he was rethinking everything. Thus, I didn’t talk to him about that every day,” Alex said to TNT Sports during the Indonesian Grand Prix. “But one day, I decided to give you my advice as a brother rather than as a Gresini Ducati racer because I noticed that you were changing a lot.”In my opinion, Marc required a change starting in 2020 in order to regain his enthusiasm and feeling. This is because I seen him on the Motegi podium looking unhappy, which is not typical of him. I then remarked, “Okay, you need a change.”He expressed his desire to join a small team, not because we are not a professional team—quite the contrary—but because the group seems like a tiny family. “This can allow Marc to enjoy [his time] on the bike and on the track again,” she said. “We are always together.”
