Marquez i🔜s expected to join Gresini Racing in 2024, especia🌜lly after Ducati boss Gigi Dall’Igna admitted the move was edging closer after the Japanese MotoGP.

"Hondaꩲ is contacting every MotoGP rider at the꧒ moment," reported.

Oliveira received a call dꦚespite being under contract w🍸ith Aprilia for 2024.

Maverick Vinales was conta🌸cted by Honda too, DAZN previously reported⛦.

Pedro Acosta becam🎉e 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 least half a year late” in their pursuit of Acosta, it is 🎃reported.

They are now “desperately looking” for a repla🤡cement for the📖 outgoing Marquez.

“Alarm bells are now ringing aꦛt HRC,” the report states.

Johann Zarco has already been recruited as a replacement for LCR Honda’s Alex Rins who wiꦏll go to Yamaha next season.

But Zarco is now expected to be a “st꧒opgap” replacement for Marquez at Repsol Honda in 2024, alongside Joan Mir.

Iker Lecuona, Honda’s World Superbike rider who has replace꧟d 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 join LCR by TNT Sports’ Neil Hodgson.

Marquez must first negotiate his way out o♑f the final year of his contract with Hꦿonda before he can, as is now expected, join Gresini next year.
