But 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini is now expected to become Repsol Honda’s ne▨w rider for the 2024 season.

The long search ꦐwas brought to a conclusion by agreeing termꦇs with the VR46 rider after one crucial condition was met.

Marini will pen a🐼 two-year contract, report, in contrast to the reports of🧔 one-year offerings to previous targets.

The securit♕y of a two-year deal was “a fundamental condition” for Marini,𝄹 the report states.

Honda🅰 management met Marini's representatives on Saturday night in Sepang. They previously spoke in Indonesia, and now a deal appears𒊎 to be a formality.

Ma🎃rquez will head to Gresini Ducati next season, initially tied to the team for only one season.

Honda’s response was to reportedly try🧸 to secure a replacemen🦂t, also just for one year.

Negotiations with Miguel Oliveira seemingly fell apa🐓rt over the length ജof the deal. The RNF rider wanted a two or three-year commitment.

Fabio di Giannantonio then became the frontrunner to land the Honda bike, and was willing to accept a one-year contra♊ct, according to Sky in Italy.

But Honda have instead o🍌pted to sanction a longer deal to bring in Marini which may have implications further down the line.

At the end of 2024, the contracts of most riders on th🌼e grid will expire.

That means riders can freely search for t🦹he best bike available to them, and teams can dispose of unwanted riders and scour the market for a replacement.

But Marini will, in theory, be tied to H🧸onda throughout 2025 too.

The deal is not yet confirmed but Valentino Rossi and Repsol Honda t🍸hemselves have been teasing it via social media.
