Honda’s plan to replace Marc Marquez could reportedly include Maverick Vinales - and even the Aprilia CEO.
Marquez has refused to confirm his plans for 2024 at this weekend’s Japanese MotoGP, Honda’s home race, but the expectation is that he will sensationally quit to go to Gresini Ducati.
His demand that Honda revamp their staff with Europe-based expertise is already in motion, with long-serving Shinichi Kokubu shown the door. But it might be too late to secure Marquez’s future, although Honda are clearly putting the building blocks in place with or without their star rider.And targeting Aprilia rider Vinales is also a hugely unexpected claim.
The veteran rider, in his ninth season in the premier class, has already represented Japanese manufacturers Suzuki and Yamaha but he is contracted to Aprilia for 2024, so an exit appears unlikely. Honda have already recruited Johann Zarco - expected to slot into their satellite team to replace Alex Rins in 2024 - while Iker Lecuona is an option to permanently step into MotoGP next year, if Marquez leaves.
