Oliveira is said to be atop Ho♐nda’s list of targets to replace Marc Marquez, with an approach already thought to have taken place.

Maverick Vinales has𝔉 also been mentioned as a target, however, Oliveira has publicly said that there is a way out of his current deal with RNF Aprilia, making him a consideration for the Japanese brand.

Speaking to MotoGP.com, Oliveira said: “It’s a privilege to be ♛considered by a factory like Honda.&nb𒊎sp;

“The goal for every rider is to be on a factory seat in a factory team and with theဣ prospects of growing together. I want it to happen a♚s soon as possible.”

Satellite riders are enjoying more success than ever before in MotoG🥃P, as highlighted by Alex Rins, Marco Bezzecchi, Jorge Martin and Alex Marquez, all of whom have won races in 2023.

Riders like Martin and Rins have done so ab✤oard full-factory machinery, but that doesn’t take away from their success, while someone like Bezzecchi has been just as impressive given he’s third in the standings on a year-old machine.

Oliveira, who h🐓as also flashed potential on last year’s RS-GP22 bike, feels as though satellite teams are a good place to be although joining a factory team is still his main objective.

“The thing is, in MotoGP now, the factory seat doesn’t mean you perform better,” added Oliveira. “We saw in recent years that non-factory riders - meaning riders that are on satellite teams with factory bikes are able to be in the top five in🌠 the championship, even top three. 

“I think a factory ride is helpful in the sense that he c🦹an grow and have as much support as a factory can give when you maybe don’t have the best package.”
