Honda: Marini "was first guy to approach us" to replace Marquez for MotoGP 2024
Honda announced that they have signed Luca Marini from VR46 on a two-year deal to replace Marc Marquez, breaking their initial approach of offering one-year contracts. Marini was the first rider to approach Honda after Marquez’s departure was confirmed, and his progression in recent years made him a good option. Marini’s experience with the Ducati was appealing to Honda as they look to improve their performance. Honda is implementing a new structure and recruiting new people to help with development and change the system. Marini will not bring anyone from VR46 and will inherit Joan Mir’s crew.
