Pol Espargaro named as a serious possibility to return to Repsol Honda in 2024
During the Malaysian MotoGP, Honda team manager Alberto Puig confirmed that Aleix Espargaro is an option as they search for a replacement for Marc Marquez. Espargaro, who was Marquez’s teammate at Repsol Honda last year, is now being considered for a comeback. However, he will not have a full-time seat in the 2024 MotoGP rider line-up as Tech3 GASGAS has chosen Pedro Acosta and Augusto Fernandez instead. Espargaro’s role at KTM’s two teams might be limited to test, reserve, and wildcard rides. Therefore, a one-year contract at Honda to remain a full-time racer could be appealing to him. So far, Honda has also considered Miguel Oliveira, Maverick Vinales, Luca Marini, Fabio di Giannantonio, and Fermin Aldeguer as potential replacements for Marquez.
