The Moto2 rider could not have timed his second Moto2 win any better after claiming victory in Thailand ahead of soon-t𒁃o-be world champion Pedro Acost♚a.

As a result, the 18-year-old has shot into contention for the faꦆctory Honda ride in MotoGP, as the Japanese manufacturer continues its search for a replacement for Marc Marquez.

• Aleix: Aldeguer to Repsol🥂 Honda? "He’s ready for MotoGP🍬, but…” 
• di Giannantonio future: No ‘significant step’, ‘something good’ in near fu൩ture?

With the eight-time w🙈orld champion off to Gresini Ducati, Joan Mir will be leaned upon to become the face o🔜f Repsol Honda.

Like Marquez🏅, Mir is also a MotoGP champion which mಌeans signing a young rider with huge potential could be a gamble worth taking.

Aldeguer admitted to MotoGP.com that a call has been made, but that he’s unclear what Ho🐽nda’s plans are.

“The call waꦰs there but I don’t have anything on the table,” said the Spaniard. “In the end, Honda is looking fo𝔉r one rider and maybe my name is one of those. 

“Also there is [Fabio] Di Giannantonio so 𒁃we have to wait. My mind is on Moto2 and to continue thꦺe progression.”

Despite b🥀eing in Moto2 for just two seasons, Aldeguer believes he’s ready to make the step up should Ho🌺nda make him their choice to replace Marquez. 

Aldeguer added: “Yes, why not. B𒆙ut I always said that when I go to MotoGP I want to have experience and to do my best. We have to wait and look for the best opportunity.”

Honda’s first choice is Miguel Oliveira, but with any deal for the Portuguese rider proving to be tricky, D🍰i Giannantonio and Aldeguer have become very realistic options.

Aldeguer🔜 also admitted a decision could come this weekend or in Qatar: “Maybe this race, maybe Qatar.”
