Di Giannantonio’s Gresini Ducati seat has been talk of the town for several weeks and, at🎃 the Indonesian MotoGP this weekend, it has been confirmed that he will be replaced by Marc Marquez in 2024.

The only vacant seat i꧂n the 2024 MotoGP rider line-up is now the Repsol Honda that Marquez leaves behind.

“Let’s see. At the moment, I still don’t know,” Di Gianna﷽ntonio said in Mandalika about his own hopes of landing the last-gasp chance to remain in the premier class.

“My staff are working on🐟 my future. We are trying to underst🐼and the best option for next year.

“There are options in MotoGP. We are trying to find♒ a seat in MotoGP, tꦜhat’s the main goal at the moment.

“Honda has a place. For sure, it’s one of the mos🌊t historic and iconic teams🍃 in MotoGP.

“It would be an amazing option for me.

“Even if, at the moment, the bike seems that it’s not at 100%, they are struggling, Honda is a hug🍬e factory with all the competence to make progress. 

“For sure, they will come back.

“Why not be the guy at the top of this proj🐼ect? It’s something I would be proud of.”

Maverick Vinales and Miguel Oliveira responded to rumours that they are Honda’s priority options for the vacꦉant seats.

Johann Zarco, who will join LCR Honda in 2024, has also mentioned the possibility he could instead go straight to Re♛psol Honda.

• Oliveira: Repsol Honda? “Just an ap𒁏proac🌄h, anything possible”
• Zarco: Takiꦐng over from Marquez at Repsol⛄ Honda “would make sense, but…”

Di Giannantonio said about his own minor role in the Marquez drama: “In MotoGP you have to prove your worth every time you go on track, in every practice. It’s not that, in this moment, I must prove it mo💙re.

“Maybe for you, this is new! It’s the breaking news of the moment. I knew 💫about this for a long time.

“It’s a situation which crea🍎tes pressure, but I like pressure.𒁃”

A switcཧh back to Moto2 looms for Di Giannantonio if he cannot snare the final Honda seat.

He is 16th in the MotoGP standings heading into the Indo🥂nesian round.
