WorldSBK: Bautista refuses to rule out leaving Honda; ‘I have another offer'

Alvaro Bautista’s future in WorldSBK could soon become clearer as Honda remains iꦿnterested in keeping the 2019 series runner-up, while an offer from another team has been made.
Bautista has endured a tough 2021 ಞseason so far, as crashes and machanical issues have led to an ♚opening six rounds that’s yielded just one top five finish - race two Assen.
Bautista has been part of the HRC prꩲoject since its return as a full factory outfit in 2020, however, the Japanese manufacturer remains fifth fastest behi🐭nd Kawasaki, Yamaha, Ducati and BMW.
And with Ba🌜ut🅺ista admanet he can still win races in WorldSBK, it might take a move away from Honda for the Spaniard to show the form of 2019 again.
Bautista’s current options for 2022 are to remain with Honda - with whom he’s in talks with, but there has also been another offer ‘pu🌠t on the table’ as a return to Duca𒅌ti has been touted.
Speaking to , Bautista added: "Where there's smoke, there's fire. I have an offer from another team on the table. I still have the feeling that as a driver I'm good enough to win races.&💫ꦛnbsp;
"For that I want a motorcycle and a team that can win. Then I'll look. W🌟e have a lot of ideas at Honda to improve.
"But apart from that, there are also possibilities for me. This seaso✅n and last season are very strang✨e because of COVID-19.
"One thing is certa🃏in: Honda Racing Corporation is very good and is very committed to this project.
"It's not true that I'm l🌳eaving Honda. But it is also not 100 percent certain that I will stay. I've started a new project with Honda, I don't want to do it aga🃏in."
