Marquez is expected to join Gresini Racing in 2024, especially after Ducati boss Gigi Dall’Igna admitted the move was edging closer after t🌳he Jꦏapanese MotoGP.

"Honda is contac🎉ting every MotoGP rider at the moment," reღported.

Ol💖iveira received a call despite being under contr🍬act with Aprilia for 2024.

Maverick🌠 Vinales was contacted by Honda too🍒, DAZN previously reported.

Pedro Acosta became 🔯of particular interest to HRC director Yuzuru Ishikawa but KTM retained an option on the teenager’s contract, which they have since activated to promote him to the premier class▨ next season.

Honda were “at leastᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ half a year late” in their pursuit of Acosta, i🐭t is reported.

They are now “despe🌺rately looking” for a replacement for the outgoing Marquez.

“Ala⛄rm bells are now ringing at HRC,” the report states.

Johann Zarco has already been recruited as a replacement for LCR Honda’🌟s Alex Rins who will go to Yamaha n🦋ext season.

But Zarco is now expected to be a “stopgap” replacement for Marquez at Repsolꦫ Honda in 20🌳24, alongside Joan Mir.

Iker Lecuona, Honda’s World Superbi🐈ke rider who has replaced Marquez when he was injured this season, is the obvious choice to then join LCR alongside Takaaki Nakagami.

Jake Dixon’s name was touted as a paddock rumour to ꦉjoin LCR by TNT Sports’ Neil Hodgson.

Marquez must first negotiate his way out ꦰof the f♚inal year of his contract with Honda before he can, as is now expected, join Gresini next year.
