Repsol Honda Team riders Luca Marini and Joan Mir are preparing with determination for the upcoming Assen Grand Prix this weekend. Their objectives are clear: continue to develop the RC213V after an intense and difficult start to the season.
The postponement of Kazakh Grand Prix offered to the pilots MotoGP three weeks of welcome respite, allowing them to both relax and train intensively. Assen, the penultimate event before the summer holidays, is a crucial moment for drivers and teams, both on the track and behind the scenes.
Joan mir, currently eighteenth in the general classification, is particularly motivated. He is arriving at Assen with the intention of turning the page after a series of difficult races, having added only one point in the last three events. His fall at Mugello remains a bitter memory that he wishes to erase by showing the progress of Honda.
« I had a good three weeks to focus on training and work after a very busy start to the year. We now face two races in a row before another short break and it is important to work well this weekend in Assen and later in Germany. With the second break we will have the opportunity to work more on the bike and continue to improve. We will face it with the same intensity as always ", said Mir.
Luca Marini: “ I can't wait to get back on the Honda »
For its part, Luca marini continues to adapt to his new frame. Although he has yet to score any points this season, he remains positive and motivated. Aware that adaptation takes time, Marini hopes that the progress made during the Mugello tests will be confirmed this weekend.
« I can't wait to get back on the Honda and find the team to continue to evolve. It's been a long break and I'm ready to continue our work because at Mugello we took a good step forward at the end of the weekend. I am convinced that these two weeks will be useful to everyone within the Repsol Honda team before the real 'summer break' of MotoGP. Assen and the Sachsenring are two very different circuits, so we will be able to explore a lot of things ", said Marini.
Team Repsol Honda therefore approaches this double challenge with determination, hoping that the efforts made will finally bear fruit on the track...
