"Nothing on table yet" - but teenage Moto2 star Fermin Aldeguer is in talks with Repsol Honda

The Moto2 rider could not have timed his second Moto2 win any better aft❀er claiming vict🐻ory in Thailand ahead of soon-to-be world champion Pedro Acosta.
As a result, 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.

- di Giannantonio future: No ‘si🌠gnificant step’, ‘something good’ in near future?
With the eight-time world champion o🅠ff to Gresini Ducati, Joan Mir will be leaned upon to be🎀come the face of Repsol Honda.
Like Marquez, Mir is also a MotoGP 𝓰champion which means signing a young rider with huge potential could be a gamble worth taking.
Aldeguer admit🌃ted to MotoGP.com that a call has been made, but that he’s unclear what Honda’s plans 🦩are.
“The call was there but I don’t have anything o♊n 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 [F🐼abio] Di Giannantonio so we have to wait. My mind is on Moto2 and to continue the progression.”
Despite being in Moto2 for just two sea༺sons, 🐻Aldeguer believes he’s ready to make the step up should Honda make him their choice to replace Marquez.
Aldeguer added: “Yes, why not. But 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 th༺e best o🐬pportunity.”
Honda’s first ch💝oice is Miguel Oliveira, but with any deal for the Portuguese rider proving to be triꦚcky, Di Giannantonio and Aldeguer have become very realistic options.
Aldeguer also admitted a decision could come this weekend or i𝔍n Qatar: “Maybe this race, maybe Qatar.”
