TRUE OR NOT TRUE???
The latest news report about the possibility of Pol Espargaro has signed for Repsol Honda for the 2021 seasons, something that probably no one was expecting, especially when one of the strong men of KTM had already made known that he was satisfied with the four riders he had and wanted to renew their contracts.
Espargaro has been in talks with Honda and Ducati in recent weeks, as he himself stated on several occasions, but ultimately it will be the japanese team that takes over the services of the Moto2 world champion (2013), to form a team with Marc Marquez until the end of 2022.
The loss of Pol will be a severe blow to KTM, which intended to announce the renewal of its four MotoGP riders soon: in addition to Pol, his teammate Brad Binder, and Red Bull Tech3 riders Miguel Oliveira and Iker Lecuona.
In few days, KTM saw Espargaro refuse the invitation to renew and one of their young riders, Jorge Martin, heading to Ducati to take a place in the Pramac team in 2021.
After hiring Alex Marquez last november for a season that hasn’t started and that will be very strange due to the coronavirus pandemic, everything indicates that the HRC Honda team wants to keep Alex as one of their future assets. If so, the rider can go to the LCR team to rider with an official motorcycle and all the support from the factory, helping him to train without having to deal with the pressure of being on the official team and in the shadow of his brother Marc.
This move would leave one of the current LCR riders, Cal Crutchlow or Takaaki without a place in 2021.
