Six-times MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez will leave Honda at the end of the 2023 season after both sides agreed to terminate their four-year contract a year early, the Japanese manufacturer said on Wednesday.
The separation ends an 11-year association between Marquez and Honda and clears the way for the 30-year-old Spaniard to ride a Ducati next year.
Marquez, who joined the Repsol Honda team in 2013, won six championships, his last coming in 2019 when he won the title with a commanding 151-points.
His first victory in the top class was on a Honda in Austin, Texas, in 2013, making him the youngest MotoGP winner on his way to becoming the youngest champion in the premier category.
