Honda have plenty of money to afford a top-notch new rider but a rumour shared by Neil Hodgson suggests Miguel Oliveira might not need to move.
A question mark over the long-term future of Aleix Espargaro at Aprilia means his seat could eventually be inherited by RNF’s Oliveira, the TNT Sports expert suggested.“It sounds complicated,” Hodgson said on TNT Sports during the Indonesian MotoGP. “Miguel has got a contract next year - it’s direct with Aprilia.“Honda now have saved a lot of money! There will be a fine, as well, to not go through with the contract.
But Honda, despite the potential of riches, have slipped to the back of the MotoGP pack and are arguably at the lowest ebb, with even their star rider Marquez losing faith in the project.Would Oliveira prefer a factory Aprilia or Honda ride? “Great question,” Hodgson said."Because if he’s got a contract directly with Aprilia, which it sounds like he has, Aleix Espargaro whose currently in that team is talking about not wanting to continue. That’s what I am hearing.“What team would you rather be in, right now? Of course, Aprilia all day!
“But will sort it out. The only way is up. You could sign a longer-term contract with Honda, a big-money contract. “Maverick Vinales has been mentioned. Jake Dixon’s name has been mentioned. It’s still up in the air.”
