In yet another twist in Honda’s search for a Marc Marquez replacement in 2024, the legendary MotoGP manufacturer is thought to have settled on Luca Marini as its best option
reported on Friday, Luca Marini, brother of MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi, is now the leading candidate to fill Marc Marquez’s vacant Repsol Honda seat for next season. Marini is said to be close to signing a deal to partner Joan Mir. This comes as a blow to Fabio Di Giannantonio, who was previously the frontrunner for the seat. Marini expressed that he would be interested in a factory team offer, depending on the situation. With Marini’s analytical mindset and attention to detail, he could be a smart choice for Honda as a development rider. Taking the offer would also provide a significant financial boost for Marini. In the case of a one-year deal, Marini may have the opportunity to secure a ride with Rossi’s VR46 structure for the following season. It is rumored that Fermin Aldeguer, currently shining in Moto2, could replace Marini at VR46 if he joins Honda.
