Gresini’s Fabio Di Giannantonio teased on Sunday at the Thailand Grand Prix that “something is coming” in terms of future news amid his Honda MotoGP links to replace Marc Marquez.
In an ironic development, the one-time podium finisher is now favourite to replace eight-time world champion Marquez at Honda in 2024 – having lost his Gresini ride to him. As reported by Motorsport.com last week, Honda’s list of candidates has thinned with its insistence of signing a rider only to a one-year deal to keep its options open for 2025 when almost everyone comes onto the market.
Marquez was the only rider to have gone for the medium rear tyre and was making his grip advantage work early on, running in third until lap 13 when he fell. The Gresini rider says he simply pushed too hard into Turn 4 and lost the front when he touched the slippery white line on the inside of the corner, but feels he was on the right tyre to fight for victory. “Painful crash because I was able to do a good start, good first laps,” Marquez said.
