P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Although flattered by Repsol Honda’s interest, Pol Espargaro has explained why he intends to stick with his KTM/GASGAS test and wild-card deal for MotoGP 2024.
In a recent interview, Repsol Honda team manager Alberto Puig denied the speculation that Fermin Aldeguer would be taking Marc Marquez’s seat in MotoGP. Puig stated that it was “100% false.” However, Puig did mention that Pol Espargaro, a former HRC rider, is a potential candidate for the seat. Espargaro previously rode for Repsol Honda and had two podium finishes before returning to KTM this year. Despite the interest from Honda, Espargaro expressed his loyalty and commitment to KTM, stating that he is comfortable with his current position and looking to the future. With Espargaro and Aldeguer seemingly out of contention, it appears that Fabio di Giannantonio is the frontrunner to replace Marquez in 2024.
