Oliveira is said to be atop Honda’s list of targets to replace Marc Marquez, wit🦋h an approach already thought to have taken place.

Maverick Vinales has also been mentioned as a target, however, Oliveira has publicly said that th🌟ere is a way out of his current deal with RNF Aprilia, making him a consideration for the Japanese bra✅nd.

• Bastianini ‘unlucky’ after suffering ‘normal contact’ with 🤡Marq♓uez, Miller

Speaking to MotoওGP.com,ꦆ Oliveira said: “It’s a privilege to be considered by a factory like Honda. 

“The goal for every rider is to be▨ on a factory seat in a factory team and with the prospects of growing together. I want it to happeඣn as soon as possible.”

Satellite riders are enjoyin🃏g more succes🅺s than ever before in MotoGP, as highlighted by Alex Rins, Marco Bezzecchi, Jorge Martin and Alex Marquez, all of whom have won races in 2023.

Riders like Martin and Rins have done so aboard full-factory machinery, but that doesn’t take away from their success, while someo𝄹ne like Bezzecchi has been just as impressive given he’s third in the standings on a year-old machine.

Oliveira, who has also flashed 🥂potential on last year’s RS-GP22 biꦏke, feels as though satellite teams are a good place to be although joining a factory team is still his main objective.

“The thing is, in MotoGP now, the factory seat 🐭doesn’t mean you perfor♉m better,” added Oliveira. “We saw in recent years that non-factory riders - meaning riders that are on satellite teams with factory bikes are able to be in the top five in the championship, even top three. 

“I think a factory ride is helpful in the sen🐭se that he can grow and have as much support as a factory can give when you maybe don’t have the best package.”
