Miguel Oliveira is the latest MotoGP rider to be contacted by Honda about replacing Marc Marquez.
Marquez is expected to join Gresini Racing in 2024, especially after Ducati boss Gigi Dall’Igna admitted the move was edging closer after the Japanese MotoGP.Pedro Acosta became of particular interest to HRC director Yuzuru Ishikawa but KTM retained an option on the teenager’s contract, which they have since activated to promote him to the premier class next season.They are now “desperately looking” for a replacement for the outgoing Marquez.
But Zarco is now expected to be a “stopgap” replacement for Marquez at Repsol Honda in 2024, alongside Joan Mir. Iker Lecuona, Honda’s World Superbike rider who has replaced Marquez when he was injured this season, is the obvious choice to then join LCR alongside Takaaki Nakagami.Marquez must first negotiate his way out of the final year of his contract with Honda before he can, as is now expected, join Gresini next year.
