168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini, currently in the first year of a two-year Repsol Honda deal, has emphasised that he “gets along very well with Joan Mir. He’s a nice person, and I hope he stays at the team” for MotoGP 2025.

Despite another frustrating season, 2020 world cඣhampion Mir insists his priority is to remain at the factory Honda squad, although a contract extension is yet to be announced.

But if Mir and Honda fail to reach an agreement, Marini thinks it would be better to sign a rider with proven MotoGP experi🔴ence rather than pursue WorldSBK star Toprak Razgatlioglu.

Razgatlioglu has impress💝ed the motorcycle world by putting BMW into the Superbike championship lead in his debut season with the brand, reigniting rumours of a MoꦓtoGP move.

With manager Kenan Sofuoglu frequently making clear it would only be with a factory MotoGP team, Honda would be the last remaining chance for 2025🐟, with the European teams full and Alex Rins expected to be renewed at Monster Y𝓰amaha.

But Sofuoglu has played down the chances of a Razgatlioglu MotoGP move for next season and Marini feels that Honda, currently bottom-of-the-constructors’ standings, would be better served by an exper𓄧ienced rider if Mir leaves.

“I say no!” Marini told when asked bout Razgatlioglu an🌠d Honda. “If a rider has to come it would be interesting to have one from Ap🥂rilia or KTM, who would bring some more knowledge. 

“I could be an example [of that] coming from Ducati. Having said that, should a new rider come, he has to 🃏be technical, able to sh꧒are information, and give feedback in the right way that’s understood.”

Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira are among the experienced KTM/Aprilia riders still to ꧅b🍃e confirmed for 2025.
