But Aprilia CEO Rivola has come out fighting and belie🐠ves Honda will be forced🦩 to look elsewhere.
"I spoke with Vinales, he feels really good with us,” Rivola told .&nꦉbsp;
“2024 will be an important yဣear for him. Or maybe we will also be the ones who next year tell Maverick not to continue together, I can't know this now.
“For now we are in an ideal situation, we are technically developing four riders based on the characteristics of our bike.&🌄nbsp;
“What the others do doesn't interest me.
“I wanted my four riders a🌟nd I wan🧔t to continue with these four riders.
“Should a rider come to me and tell me they don’t want to stay at Aprilia anymore, we'll siꦉt downꦗ and talk about it.
“But t♏his won't happen, this isn't the situation."
Oliveira and RNF team boss Razlan Razali had previously clashed over Honda’s repo🍎rt🍎ed interest.
Razali cla💙imed that Oliveira does not have a clause in his factory contract with Aprilia that would allow him to quit, and move to another team.
“That’s not true,” Oliveira insisted.
