How Marc Marquez and Honda spiralled into a bombshell MotoGP split

The unthinkable is happening - Marc Marquez has found a way out of his megabucks Honda deal, for the privilege of riding a Ducati. And not just any Ducati - a customer Ducati, which, unless there’s a sudden change of heart at Bologna, is set to be a spec lower than what the main team uses.
It's a move that completely changes the picture for both the most decorated rider in MotoGP's current era and its defining manufacturer. And it’s a huge jolt to the series’ whole competitive landscape.
None of this could’ve been foreseen until very recently. Suggesting it in 2020 - when Marquez entered this four-year Honda contract, fresh off having curb-stomped MotoGP's best and brightest in one of the most effortlessly dominant seasons ever seen - would’ve been firmly in the realm of fiction.
