The bombshell news of Marc Marquez leaving Repsol Honda has been confirmed, but who could replace the soon-to-be Gresini Ducati rider for the 2024 MotoGP campaign?
A six-time MotoGP champion with Honda, Marquez will leave the Japanese manufacturer after spending 11 years together.
A stand-in rider on multiple occasions so far this season, Lecuona would be the most logical option given his MotoGP experience, growing experience with the RC213V and his relatively low cost. With the Gresini seat heading the way of Marquez, Dixon could secure a premier class move with a switch to LCR, again making him a non-direct replacement for Marquez.
A rider that is also attracting MotoGP interest for 2025, Vietti has an outside chance of making that a reality in 2024 by joining LCR Honda, which would again mean Zarco moves to Repsol alongside Joan Mir.The biggest name on this list and one that, like Vietti, comes as a potential surprise is Vinales who has reportedly been contacted by Honda.
Capable of winning MotoGP races in both wet and dry conditions, Oliveira could bring a lot to Honda, including his ability to quickly adapt to a new bike.
