Mid-season has not yet been reached when the first rumors about the transfer market are launched. At Honda, we do not hide open negotiations regarding the organization of its two satellite teams. But by admitting to looking for another pilot instead of a Sam Lowes clearly in the hot seat, Aprilia has opened the game of musical chairs.

Maybe some people think that because our situation is delicate, things can happen. But this is not the case. There is a contract and we are only focused on solving our problems. It's that clear ».
