With Marc Marquez out, Honda is working extra hard to fix issues like rear grip and acceleration.
Marini, known for thinking things through, brings a new outlook after moving from Ducati, the top dog in MotoGP. Switching from VR46 Ducati to Honda’s main team is a big deal.
Even though he left the best bike, Marini thinks joining Repsol Honda is a huge moment. He knows the team has challenges, but he believes they can get back on top. Marini sees his role as important to give feedback and energy to lift the team up.
After trying out the Honda RC213V in Valencia, Marini is feeling hopeful. Joan Mir liked what he saw too. But Marini is staying realistic, first aiming to beat other Honda riders before going for podiums and wins.
Looking forward, Luca Marini is thinking about the Sepang Shakedown in February. Both Honda and Yamaha riders will be there. This event comes before the official Sepang test. Marini wants to see how fast Honda is, stressing the need to figure out their speed and get the balance right for success.
