Taka Nakagami will a priori be part of the cart of convicts that Honda is putting together at the moment as if to try to exorcise its current slump which places this period in MotoGP as the worst in its history at this level of competition. The Japanese, however, does not demerit, giving of his person and his reputation to save that of an employer who is the world's leading manufacturer, and who will not be grateful to him.
Taka Nakagami is like the rest of the drivers in RC213V, Marc Marquez except. He suffers martyrdom on a Honda which even manages to turn into an instrument of torture when the ambient temperatures become scorching. Otherwise, it is the salary of fear that we receive at HRC. The Japanese explains clearly and it is edifying: “ last weekend was a disaster for Honda ", begin Nakagami. " I fell and two technical problems led to withdrawals. It's not nice to see Honda being last in the standings ».
Taka Nakagami: “ to compensate, in the last races I always had to act beyond the limit«
« I think Honda understands that we have to try something or change something. We are losing our way he says. " We have a problem, but no one knows what we need to change. This weekend, in Assen, we will not be able to change it. But Honda has five weeks in summer ».
Nakagami also makes this inventory of the RC213V project in MotoGP: " the engine is good. The chassis and aerodynamics are giving us problems. All the other manufacturers are improving, but we haven't made any progress since winter “, he clarified. “ The gap is widening, so it's not easy to finish in the top 10. We lack balance. We lack grip on the rear tire. Entering and exiting turns are among the problem areas. We have to compensate for this on the brakes in the middle of the corner, so it's very easy to fall on the front wheel. In the last races I always had to act beyond the limit ". What if this end of contract was in fact a release for Nakagami ?
