Honda’s options to replace Marc Marquez have dwindled ahead of the Thailand MotoG🌃P at Buriram.

RNF rider Oliveira was asked if he had an update on possib൲ly movin🦩g teams, and replied: “No, not much more.”

Asked if he was in talks with Honda anymore, he replied: “No, we are no💝t.”

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

Aprilia duo Maverick Vin♐ales and Aleix Espargaro were previou♒sly mentioned but any interest never materialised into serious talks.

That leaves Gre൩sini Ducati rider di Giannantonio, who has lost his 2024 seat to Marquez, as a major option.

Di Giannantonio was a💧sked if he had an update on his future, and replied♎: “Honestly, no.

“At the moment, we don’t h﷽ave any evolutions for the future. Honestly!”

Di Giannantonio expects his future to be solved within the next couple of weeks: “I think yes. In the next couple of weeks we will know something bet🍃ter.”

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

“I’m trying to help him to hel🧜p 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, emotional after his exit from Gresini next year was confirmed.

He tꦑhen stunned with a podium finish in Australia.

He joked about rewatching his greatest 🌊MotoGP race: “Not 50, but 49 [times] for sure!

“Honestly, I was back in my hoಞuse. As soon as we went back, we said ‘gu෴ys let’s see the race!’

“They said ‘no, come on!’

“I enjoyed it so much. When you see yourself t🦩here for the first time, you are really proud.

“It was also a moment to understand what we’ve done good, wha🍷t we’ve don🍒e worse, what we can improve.

“We are prꩵofessional, we analyse what we can do better in t🌊he future.

“You learn so much. Zarco, for example, did the🅘 perfect job to remain sup😼er calm.

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

“Being behind them, how they work on the bike with their body, how they use the bike?ꦗ You 💎understand a lot of things.

“In Phillip Island, Zarco did an amazing job saving the rear tyre൩. He is one of the best in Ducati at exiting corners.

“There was no main thing that made us make this step. I꧒t was continuing this growth, the 📖feeling that I have with the bike.”

Zarco has explained how his firs𓄧t MotoG🌳P win has relieved a lot of pressure.

“I b♛elieve it,” di Giannantonio reacted. “He was waiting since 2016 for this win. It can be a big weight on the shoulders.

“But, for me, it’s not like this. It’s a goal achieved, a memory which makes me proud. But it’s a step for the future, it’s not a final ac🦂hievement.”

Di Giannantonio identified his 𒐪favourite part of last weekend’s race, and one moment to improve upon.

“I did a great job overtaking Martin fast,” he said. “If I didn’t do it, Binder was 𝓰attacking 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 ꦉpass. We have something good, and something bad, to work on.”
