Miguel Oliveira in the frame at to replace Marc Marquez Repsol Honda?
According to Motorsport.com, Miguel Oliveira is the frontrunner to replace Marc Marquez at Repsol Honda, after Marquez negotiated an early release from his HRC contract. Given the timing of Marquez’s departure and the length of most rider contracts, Honda is left with few high-profile options. Johann Zarco, who recently signed with HRC, is also being considered as a potential replacement if he is moved from LCR Honda to a factory Repsol seat. It has been suggested that Oliveira may have a similar clause in his Aprilia contract, allowing him to join Repsol Honda if he chooses. Maverick Vinales of the Aprilia factory team has also been mentioned as a potential candidate for the Repsol seat. Although it hasn’t been officially announced, Marc Marquez is expected to join Gresini Ducati next season alongside his brother Alex. Oliveira secured one of his five KTM victories last season at Mandalika, the location of this weekend’s Indonesian MotoGP.
