After each Grand Prix, the shadowy team manager of the powerful Repsol Honda team takes stock of his troops and Argentine Grand Prix therefore made no exception to his expertise. A summary which ensures, after only two events in 2019, that there will be no “dream team” at Honda. The star track will wait and, for the moment, we will do business as usual at HRC. We will count on the only Marc Márquez...
The latter was dazzling at Termas de Rio Hondo for Honda. But Alberto puig is not the type to swoon at the total domination of his driver in the race. So, he says coldly on this subject: “ we know that wins are worth 25 points, whether you win with a 10 second advantage or a 2 ". But he still deigns to add: “ the weekend was as we hoped. The truth is that Marc had a great advantage and that gives us even more motivation ».
And motivation is needed, especially if we look at the other side of the box where the new recruit is standing. Jorge Lorenzo... " Jorge's goal was to start well, then exploit his strengths, but he had a problem which affected his race ". It will be recalled that Por Fuera activated the rev limiter rather than firing his RC213V…
A personal error therefore, so much so that Puig concludes: “ this weekend, there was Marc's victory which was positive, and Jorge's problem which was the negative point. The balance is good because last year we left Argentina with 0 points. In the case of Jorge we know that the first part of the season will not be easy for him, but we hope that when he gets used to this bike he will fight again for the first places ". It will be noted that certainty has given way to hope...
