And just this week Vialle liked a post from Giacomo Gariboldi who was showing off the prototype Honda that Ruben Fernandez was flying on in Loket, just missing the podium.
AC gave his thoughts on the rumours in a recent AC/JB podcast saying: “I’m dipping into the sky miles, baby. I’m headed back over to Honda. Oh yeah. Oh, I’m gone. I’m so gone. You’re signing with Honda in Europe. And those guys in Europe are starting to make, like what I’ve heard is that basically the salaries are higher, the bonuses are lower.

“But if he loves the lifestyle here, you know, maybe he’s got a girlfriend that’s from here or something like then the conversation changes a little bit. But just from a racing point of view, my thing is, could he try, he could do the one year deal, try and then will those deals for the GP still be there?“
