Aleix Espargaro recently hinted at the possibility of joining Honda, describing the team as an attractive option. When questioned about the high-profile vacancy at Honda for the 2024 MotoGP season, Espargaro responded, “Honda is always a good option.” This seat became available following Marc Marquez’s decision to join Gresini Ducati.

While riders like Miguel Oliveira and Maverick Vinales have been heavily associated with the role of succeeding Marquez at Honda, Espargaro’s name has now entered the mix. Drawing a parallel between Honda and the football team Barcelona, Espargaro told DAZN, “I always make the same simile, Honda for me is Barcelona, the best [football] team in the world and it is the biggest.”

Acknowledging the challenges Honda currently faces, he added, “They are going through a difficult time, that is undeniable, but Barca is also going through it and all the players want to go.”

Although Espargaro has a contract with Aprilia for 2024, he didn’t dismiss the idea of moving to Honda. He stated, “It depends, everything has to be analysed in this life. Why not? As I said before, everyone would go to Barca.”

Espargaro’s teammate, Vinales, was previously rumored to be Marquez’s replacement. However, Vinales clarified, “What am I going to tell you? They haven’t called me. They haven’t called my agent. Neither.” He emphasized his commitment to Aprilia but also acknowledged Honda’s appeal, saying, “If you ask any rider, Honda is a team that everyone wants to go to. Maybe they are not at their best, but five years ago any rider would go with their eyes closed.”

In conclusion, while the MotoGP paddock is rife with speculation, riders like Espargaro and Vinales are keeping their cards close to their chest. Only time will reveal where they will land in the 2024 season.
