We take a chapter of this Friday afternoon sunshine to turn to the MotoGP paddock, where rumors are surfacing that an unhappy Marc Marquez could spell an end to the rider’s 10-year streak with Honda.
How, you ask?
It apparently all started with a chassis.
“Marc found a different frame with some more rear grip, which he liked… [then] Honda decided that Stefan Bradl would not race at Termas de Río Hondo, they made the decision to give this frame to Álex Rins,” explains YouTube channel SportAction/Paddock TV personality, Óscar Haro (via coverage from Motorcycle Sports).
“Álex Rins liked it; the problem is that Álex Rins now wants a frame like that, and Marc will not be very happy that Álex Rins tried it.”

There’s more, too; apparently, Márquez’s former manager – Emilio Alzamora – “wants to make a little war on Márquez and he offered himself to be [Pedro] Acosta’s manager.”
With Red Bull purportedly pushing to give a KTM bike to a jealous Márquez (and Acosta rumored to be getting a place on the bike at HRC), everybody’s curious to see what happens next.
Haro’s opinion?

“It would be a beautiful story, Márquez’s former manager helping Acosta by putting him on Honda and Márquez on KTM.”
