Reports had suggested Quartararo signed a two-year deal with Honda from 2027, but the 2021 world champion denied it, mentioning Honda among his options. With Yamaha facing issues, the Quartararo rumors intensified. Puig confirmed ongoing talks between manufacturers and riders but emphasized Honda’s focus on current riders and support.
