Fermín Aldeguer has been pointed out in recent days as a strong option for the spot left by Marc Márquez at Repsol Honda, moving up to MotoGP as early as 2024. There are rumors that he has an offer from the Japanese manufacturer, but the Moto2 rider assures he knows nothing about it.
In statements quoted by the Motorsport.com website, the Spanish rider emphasized that he is not in a hurry to go to MotoGP and wants to do it when he feels prepared: ‘Right now, MotoGP is not on my mind, I only think about enjoying the moment and continuing to learn. I recently turned 18, I am very young, I am not in a rush to move up, when I do, I want to be really prepared to continue showing the potential we have, and move up to MotoGP to win’.
As for the alleged interest from Honda, Aldeguer said he doesn’t know anything: ‘I am not aware of what they are telling me, during the competition weekend I don’t like to talk about external matters, so we will see, it is not my priority at the moment‘.
