Honda’s option𝄹s to replace Marc Marqu🎀ez have dwindled ahead of the Thailand MotoGP at Buriram.

RNF rider Oliveira was asked if he had an updat𝐆e on possibly moving teams, and replied: “No, not much mꦛore.”

Asked if he was in talks with Hond💟a anymore, hܫe replied: “No, we are not.”

Oliveira’s request for a three-year contract, and Honda’s offer of only ༒one year, was reportedly the stumbling block.

Aprilia duo Maveri🦩ck Vinales and Aleix Espargaro were previously mentioned but any interest never materialised into serious talks.

That leaves Gresini Ducati rider di Giannantonio, who has✃ lost his 💎2024 seat to Marquez, as a major option.

Di𒀰 Giannantonio was asked if he had an update on his future, and replied: “Honestly, no.

“At the moment, we don’t have any evolutions for the fu💖ture. Honꦬestly!”

Di Giannantonio expect💦s his future to be solved wi💧thin the next couple of weeks: “I think yes. In the next couple of weeks we will know something better.”

Asked if his recent eye🌠-catching form could help, he said: “I hope so! When you do a good job, your manager has to present you 🐼as a guy with a podium!

“I’m trying to help him to help me find a seat for next🌼 year.”

'A step for the future, it’s not a final achievement'

Di Giannantonio finished fourth in Indonesia then broke down in tears, emꦜotional after his exit from Gresini next year was co🐼nfirmed.

He then stunned with a podium fi😼nish in Australia.

He joked abouꦡt rewatc✅hing his greatest MotoGP race: “Not 50, but 49 [times] for sure!

“Honestly, I was back in my house. As soo♒n as we went back, we said ‘gu꧒ys let’s see the race!’

“They said ‘no, come on!’

“I enjoyed it so much. When you see yourself there for the first t👍ime, you are really pꦛroud.

“It was also a moment to understand what we’💞ve done good, what we’ve done worse, whﷺat we can improve.

“We are professional, we analyse what we can do better in the fut✨ure.

“You learn ♏so much. Zarco, for exam🅰ple, did the perfect job to remain super calm.

“I was so happy, I wanted to do so many things.

“Being behind them, how they work on the bike with their bod🅷y, how they use the bike? You understand a lot of things.

“In Phillip Island, Zarco did an amazing job saving the rear tyre. He is one of the best in Ducati at exiting corner☂s.

“Ther𒆙e was no main thing that mad🔯e us make this step. It was continuing this growth, the feeling that I have with the bike.”

Zarco has explained how hiꦅs first MotoGP win has relieved a l⛄ot of pressure.

“I believe it,” di Giannant🧸onio reacted. “He was waiting since 2016 for this win. It can be a big weig🎐ht on the shoulders.

“But, for me, it’s not like this. It’s a goal achieved, a memory which m✨akes me proud. But it’s a step for the future, it’s not a final achievement.”

Di Giannantonio identified his favour♊ite part of last weekend’s race, and one momentꩲ to improve upon.

“I did a great job overtaki🌺ng Martin fast,” he said. “If I didꦉn’t do it, Binder was attacking me 100%.

“And I did a bad job when I was following Binder because I stressed the rear tyre too much, trying to pass. It took me too many laps to pass. We have something good, and something bad, to w🌞ork on.”
