Aleix Espargaro admits to being torn in terms of whether he thinks friend and countryman Fermin Aldeguer should take over Marc Marquez’s Repsol Honda seat for MotoGP 2024.
Fermin Aldeguer, an 18-year-old Moto2 racer, is considered a strong candidate for a factory Honda seat, alongside Fabio di Giannantonio. Aleix Espargaro believes Aldeguer is ready for MotoGP and compares him to Fabio Quartararo in terms of riding style. However, Espargaro warns that being ready for MotoGP and being ready for the struggling Honda project are two different things. He questions if Aldeguer is mentally prepared to handle a non-competitive bike. Despite the challenges, if Espargaro were in Aldeguer’s position, he would advise taking the chance to join the Repsol Honda team. While the future competitiveness of the Honda remains uncertain, Espargaro admits that he has made mistakes in his career and may not be the best example.
