P1racenews AI automatic summary:


Honda could bring an end to the MotoGP rider merry-go-round this weekend in Buriram.

The only vacant bike in the 2024 MotoGP rider line-up is at Repsol Honda, as Marc Marquez will be leaving to join Gresini Ducati. Repsol Honda is scrambling to find a replacement rider at short notice. Johann Zarco, who was set to join LCR Honda, has been ruled out as an immediate option. Miguel Oliveira, Maverick Vinales, and Aleix Espargaro have all been considered by Honda, despite being contracted to Aprilia for 2024. Talks have taken place with contracted riders, but the situation is complicated. Fabio di Giannantonio is now being seriously considered and there are increasing signs that he may ride for Repsol Honda in 2024, directly replacing Marquez. It appears that Honda is in the final stages of naming a replacement rider and completing the MotoGP rider line-up for 2024.
