Luca Marini has explained why a possible switch to Repsol Honda is “complicated”.
The Mooney VR46 rider was among several options to replace Marc Marquez on the only vacant bike in the 2024 MotoGP rider line-up.
He met Alberto Puig, the Repsol Honda team manager, for talks about a move but it ultimately came to nothing.“It all happened very late given that Marc announced his farewell in October. "I'm very pleased to be taken into consideration by Alberto Puig, it means that I'm working well and I'm demonstrating my potential.
Marini added: “The most important thing is to finish these three races in the best possible way and then focus on the future.“There is still something missing, but I am sure that next year, continuing like this, we can achieve great goals.” Marini’s teammate Marco Bezzecchi also rejected the chance to leave the VR46 team, choosing to stay rather than receive a more updated bike at Pramac Ducati.
