P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Aleix Espargaro admitted “Honda is always a good option” after being asked about their high-profile vacancy.
The only available seat in the 2024 MotoGP rider line-up is the replacement for Marc Marquez, who will go to Gresini Ducati. Miguel Oliveira and Maverick Vinales have been strongly linked with replacing Marquez at Honda, but now Espargaro has been mentioned too. “Honda is always a good option,” the Aprilia rider told DAZN. “I always make the same simile, Honda for me is Barcelona, the best [football] team in the world and it is the biggest. They are going through a difficult time, that is undeniable, but Barca is also going through it and all the players want to go.” Espargaro is contracted to Aprilia in 2024, but would he consider a move to Honda if they asked? “It depends, everything has to be analysed in this life,” he replied. “Why not? As I said before, everyone would go to Barca.” Espargaro’s teammate Vinales was previously the subject of speculation that he could replace Marquez.
