The Moto2 rider 𝔍could not have timed his second Moto2 win any better after claiming victory in Thailand ahead of soon-to-be world champion Pedro Acosta.

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

• Aleix: Aldeguer to Repsol Honda? "H🐻e’s ready for MotoGP, but…” 
• di Giannantonio future: No ‘significant step’, ‘something good’ in near f🙈uture?

Wiꦚth the eight-time world champion off to Gresini🍎 Ducati, Joan Mir will be leaned upon to become the face of Repsol Honda.

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

Aldeg꧑uer admitted to MotoGP.com that a call has been made, but that h༺e’s unclear what Honda’s plans are.

“The call was there but I don’t have 🍌anythi🌊ng on the table,” said the Spaniard. “In the end, Honda is looking for one rider and maybe my name is one of those. 

“Also there is [Fabio] Di Giannantonio so we have to wait. My mind is on M﷽oto2 and to continue the progr꧒ession.”

De🌳spite being in Moto2 for just two seasons, Aldeguer believes he’s ready to make the step up should Honda make him their choice to replace Marquez.&nbsℱp;

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

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

Aldeguer also admitt🙈ed a decision could come this weekend or in Qatar: “Maybe this race, maybe Qatar.”
