Repsol Honda team leader Alberto Puig has decided to sort out certain things during his confinement imposed by the terrible coronavirus. A pandemic which stopped the MotoGP machine which cannot therefore launch its season. A situation which also allows those who were not quite ready to engage in hostilities at the beginning of March to take advantage of this delay to get up to speed. A situation that we decipher as favorable to the Honda troops in view of the last off-season tests in Qatar. We know that this approach exceeds Alberto Puig who spoke on the technical subject on this subject. Here he is now developing the case of convalescent Marc Márquez…
To say that Honda and its flock can only be happy with this grace period is obviously inappropriate due to the reasons which imposed this situation of general confinement. Because the coronavirus is a serious thing that does not please anyone. And Alberto puig would like to point out this obvious fact: “ The main thing in a situation like the one we live in is to keep a positive mental attitude. You can get it better if you think about the people who are suffering in hospitals. Because it's a disaster. For these people, you need to pray and wait for this to be sorted out. »
On his pilots in this sensitive period, he comments: “ we chat daily by phone. Marc is completing his shoulder recovery and Álex has seen his adaptation to the category interrupted, which logically worries him. They are doing the right thing by staying home. »
« For Álex Márquez, what was to be his first season in MotoGP is delayed. The first year in the premier category is never easy. You need a period of adaptation, you have to do kilometers with the bike, because a MotoGP is a monster, and he doesn't. This makes Álex more anxious than Marc. »
Exactly, on Marc Márquez... " Of course it was good for him, but he doesn't think like that at all. It is true that Marc was far from being a hundred percent candidate for victory in Qatar. But even with great difficulty and with much pain and suffering, he would have been in the leading group. Let no one be wrong when some said that during the first race we were not going to be there. » And he finally recalls: “ It was more or less the same last year, but I want to make it clear: no one is taking advantage of anything right now. »
