Could the MotoGP rider replaced by Marc Marquez find a new opportunity at Honda?
The Italian rider, di Giannantonio, had a strong performance in the Motegi round, securing a sixth place in practice and qualifying, and finishing eighth in both the Sprint and the wet Grand Prix. Despite having a small problem in the race that prevented him from pushing at the beginning, he was happy with the result, although he believed he could have done better. With six rounds to go, di Giannantonio is currently 16th in the world championship. While his current seat at GASGAS is the only one officially available for 2024, there have been speculations about a possible move to Honda if a seat becomes open, especially if Marc Marquez were to leave. Di Giannantonio expressed interest in joining Honda and acknowledged the company’s reputation in the bike industry. However, he remains focused on his current season and hopes to continue with his Gresini team. If a MotoGP seat is not available, he will consider other options, including a potential return to Moto2.
