A surprise Honda move for MotoGP rider Fabio Di Giannantonio looks to be inching closer and closer to reality
Current Gresini Ducati rider Fabio Di Giannantonio has strongly hinted at a surprise move to Repsol Honda for the 2024 MotoGP season, potentially swapping places with six-time world champion Marc Marquez. Speculation about Di Giannantonio’s future intensified after Marquez’s unexpected decision to leave factory Honda and join the satellite Gresini Racing team next year. Initially, Di Giannantonio wasn’t considered a top candidate for the Honda seat, but his recent performances and experience in the premier class have put him in a favorable position. Di Giannantonio’s knowledge of the MotoGP tires and willingness to commit to a shorter-term deal have also boosted his chances. An announcement about the move could even come before the next race in Malaysia.
