Honda Brings In Luca Marini To Replace Marc Marquez In MotoGP
Honda announced on Monday it had signed Italian Luca Marini, the half-brother of MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi, to a two-year deal with its factory team. Marini, 26, will take over from Marc Marquez, the six-time world champion who is leaving Honda a year early to join his brother at Ducati satellite team Gresini Racing. After making his MotoGP debut in 2021, Marini earned his first two podium finishes this season -- in the United States and Qatar -- as he came eighth overall riding for VR46, the Ducati satellite team owned by Rossi. He also finished in the top three in four sprint races and twice took pole position. Marini will get a first outing on his new Japanese bike at the post-season tests in Valencia on Tuesday. He will pair up at Honda with 2020 world champion Joan Mir, who endured a disastrous past season in which he finished 22nd after scoring only 26 points. Honda finished bottom of the constructors' standings this season, just as they did in 2022.

'Domestic Cricket Will Die If...': U-19 World Cup Winning Captain's Harrowing Take
India's 2012 U-19 World Cup winning skipper Unmukt Chand, who is currently representing the United States, believes that domestic cricket will suffer if the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) allows cricketers to take part in foreign leagues. While players from other countries play T20 leagues all around the world, Indian cricketers only take part in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and they can play abroad only after they retire from the game or let go of their central contract. In a recent interview, Chand explained that the overseas leagues generally coincide with domestic competitions and if cricketers are allow to leave for these lucrative opportunities, then the domestic tournaments "will die".
