At Honda, we assume to only listen to Marc Marquez in the development of its RC213V. A monoculture that the facts legitimize, such is the Spaniard a phenomenon. We will thus recall that he manages to reveal data, by scribbling it on a paper once he gets off his motorcycle, which is then confirmed by telemetry... But it is also a collective danger, when the reference is no longer there or no longer exactly at its top level. And this has been the case since the fall suffered at Jerez in July 2020. This gives us the situation of Honda at the end of this 2022 season, with still big questions for 2023. But two drivers are arriving from Suzuki including Alex Rins who repeats its intention to influence the development of the RC213V…
alex rins arrives in an HRC in crisis and in full doubt with Joan mir, his former teammate in a factory Suzuki which lowered its flag on the evening of the last Grand Prix of the 2022 campaign in Valencia. On the same site, a few days later, he discovered during the first test of the off-season, this famous RC213V which exhausted and discouraged Pol Espargaro et Alex Marquez, while dissuading Ai Ogura to take the step from Moto2 to MotoGP with.
Si Kidneys was not really able to comment on this opus, since under contract with the Hamamatsu firm until December 31, his new boss Alberto puigas an Marc Marquez who listened to the first impressions of the newcomers, recognized that difficulties and a certain form of surprise had dominated this first experience. The double 2022 winner with the GSX-RR, however, did not remain silent: “ I would like to be remembered at Suzuki as from a good rider who developed a winning bike, that's what I want for next year », declares the Catalan.
Alex Rins: “ fight for your dreams, despite the bad times, better ones will comet "
It thus sends a message to Honda, which he had already formulated shortly after his signing integrating him into the LCR team. He wants to be an actor in the new stage at Honda : " I want to continue to grow both as a driver and as a person. We have a project with which to grow, to remake a competitive and winning motorcycle. These are the goals and this is the challenge that I have ».
And he adds on Todocircuito : " fight for your dreams, despite the bad times, better ones will come ". He also assures that in 2023 we will see a different Alex: “ at Honda we will see an Alex with a slightly improved version. Finally, the objective and the goal are complicated, we'll see what the future has in store for us ».
However, at Honda, and until proven otherwise, the situation is as described by Charles Pernat : " they're developing it with Marc Marquez, which is good because it's certainly a phenomenon. But by doing this, there is a risk that the other pilots who come, who are Mir and Rins, will have some problems ". Like others before them, and not the least.
