P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Fermin Aldeguer says Repsol Honda have called about its vacant MotoGP seat as they remain the only factory team yet to confirm their full 2024 line-up.
After winning his second Moto2 race in Thailand, the timing couldn’t have been better for the rider to be considered for the factory Honda ride in MotoGP. As Honda searches for a replacement for Marc Marquez, the 18-year-old rider’s victory puts him in contention for the opportunity. Joan Mir, another MotoGP champion, will be the face of Repsol Honda once Marquez moves to Gresini Ducati. Signing a young rider with great potential like Aldeguer could be a risky, yet worthwhile gamble. While Aldeguer is uncertain about Honda’s plans, he believes he’s ready to make the step up to MotoGP given the opportunity. Miguel Oliveira is Honda’s first choice, but if a deal becomes difficult, Di Giannantonio and Aldeguer are very realistic options. A decision on the replacement rider could be made this weekend or in Qatar.
