Jake Dixon could be the surprise name to replace Marc Marquez at Honda next season, according to a rumour shared by Neil Hodgson.
Marquez earned a podium finish at the Japanese MotoGP, his first since Australia last year, to mark a positive end to his manufacturer’s home grand prix.
“Thinking logically an experienced rider like Johann Zarco, who has signed to join the LCR team, would be put in the factory team as a factory rider to do the development and testing.” Dixon was a consideration for a step into the premier class with Gresini Ducati earlier this summer but those rumours coolled - now, it appears, because Marquez will take that spot.
“Why has he not announced? Let’s not get confused, it’s easy to be confused. He’s got a contract next season at Honda.
