P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Honda have had to weigh up several financial considerations, as they search the market for a new rider for 2024.
Due to financial constraints, several options for completing the 2024 MotoGP rider line-up have fallen through for Honda. One example is Fermin Aldeguer, whom Honda denied interest in but would have cost €400,000 to be bought out of his Moto2 contract. The interest in Miguel Oliveira also became complicated by finances, as his manager requested a three-year contract while Honda only offered a one-year deal. Oliveira’s personal sponsors would not have been able to come with him to Honda, so his manager asked for compensation. Honda’s preference for a one-year deal is due to the expiration of many riders’ contracts ahead of the 2025 season. However, they are considering a two-year deal for potential recruits, which could bring Oliveira and Luca Marini back into the picture.
