Honda is reportedly in advanced talks with MSi over a Moto2 rider development partnership aimed at producing future MotoGP talent.<\/p>\n
Honda is reportedly close to reaching an agreement with the MSi Moto2 team to develop future MotoGP talent.<\/p>\n
Sky Italia reports that the Spanish squad is in \u2018advanced negotiations\u2019 with HRC, which is \u2018aiming to secure MotoGP-ready riders\u2019.<\/p>\n
It is not yet clear whether MSi, which won the 2024 Moto2 title with Ai Ogura, would replace or complement the existing Honda Team Asia project.<\/p>\n
The most visible sign of any MSi collaboration would be Honda branding appearing on the bikes, but Sky\u2019s Rosario Triolo also reports that HRC could become involved in the team's rider contracts.<\/p>\n
Ivan Ortola is currently fourth in the Moto2 standings for MSi, with two victories in the last four races.<\/p>\n
Team-mate Angel Piqueras stepped up to Moto2 this season after finishing runner-up for MSi in last year\u2019s Moto3 World Championship.<\/p>\n
Should HRC form an alliance with MSi, it would put Ortola and Piqueras in contention for a 2028 Honda MotoGP seat.<\/p>\n
While Fabio Quartararo, David Alonso and Diogo Moreira are all signed until the end of 2028, Johann Zarco\u2019s current HRC contract expires at the end of next year.<\/p>\n
