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 rumors that Moto2 star Fermin Aldeguer would replace Marc Marquez for the vacant seat. However, Puig also mentioned that ex-HRC rider Pol Espargaro is a real possibility for the position. Espargaro previously had two frustrating seasons with Repsol Honda before joining KTM. Although grateful for the interest from Honda, Espargaro stated that he intends to stay with KTM due to his loyalty and positive relationship with the manufacturer. With both Aldeguer and Espargaro seemingly out of the running, Fabio di Giannantonio is now the favorite to replace Marquez in 2024.
