In February, it will be the return to MotoGP. But at HRC, the event will be truncated because of its injuries. Here is a summary of Honda's situation on the eve of the resumption of offseason testing. It will be at the beginning of next month, near Sepang in Malaysia. Important tests that the winged coat of arms certainly does not tackle in the best conditions. As a result, Alberto puig, the leader on the ground, is champing at the bit and doing his best against bad luck...

He's not one to settle for little, but he's also running out of alternatives. Alberto puig will have to make do with what he has at the start of 2019. A Marc Marquez to the convalescent shoulder, a Lorenzo package due to a broken and operated scaphoid, without forgetting the one which is surprisingly never mentioned: Cal Crutchlow. However, it is the latter who seems the most affected, his broken ankle since the last Australian Grand Prix having difficulty rebuilding itself…

In Malaysia, there will therefore be Nakagami in full possession of his means, a Bradl mobilized and a Marquez who will have to be careful. A situation which thus inspires the former mentor of Pedrosa : " we all know that things can happen incidentally. As is currently the case with Lorenzo. Marquez, for his part, will not be 100%. But the development work cannot stop ».

Public chat Insella.it, he even blurted out: “ for these first naked tests we will therefore leave the torch to the Ducati and Yamaha riders. They are in better shape than ours ". He ends by returning to the gamble taken to have two roosters in the same henhouse: “lThe goal is to have the best drivers to win the championship. This is not a role-playing game. There are risks, but our two pilots are adults. They have a good head on their shoulders and they know what they want. We all follow our dreams. By giving your best to win but knowing that you are part of a team. Our rivals think we have gone in the wrong direction. But this is not the case. We simply have two drivers who want to win the championship ».
