MotoGP, Valencia Day 2, Luca Marini (Honda/Ab): "I don't even want to talk about the accident"

Luca marini He had absolutely no luck during the Sprint in Valencia. The Italian rider, known for his consistency, was taken out by his teammate Joan Mir early in the race. Much to the dismay of Honda, their employer, neither rider was able to finish the event. This is unfortunate, as the Japanese manufacturer had the opportunity to change dealership tiers this weekend, potentially moving from "D" to "C". This would limit testing and other aspects, but would also demonstrate the brand's progress.

Marini, not used to finding himself on the ground, was very brief in the press conference. « I don't even want to talk about the accident because I've already spoken with Joan and everything is fine. I haven't seen the accident again. » we read in the columns of crash.net even before he became aware of the long lap penalty given to his teammate Joan Mir.

 

 

As usual, Luca Marini spoke to journalists in a stoic tone. « I think the stewards have done a good job this year regarding the penalties, so they have to make their decision because I think they've been quite fair throughout the season.There is a clear improvement compared to previous years, and we should be satisfied with that. Ultimately, for me, there's no point in saying anything negative. They will make the best decision possible. » he continued.

 

 

In general, the RC213Vs seem to be struggling on this track. «  We've had a lot of difficulties and it's not easy for us to drive here, and we're lacking performance.So I think we need to focus more on this aspect, because all the other manufacturers are ahead of us and, at the moment, we're not able to compete with them. Tomorrow, we'll do our best to get a good start and finish in the top seven. In a long race, anything can happen, so I think it's still an achievable goal. » he concluded.
