If there is a manufacturer who believes a lot in this 2022 MotoGP season, it is Honda. The world's leading manufacturer has really put pressure on itself by announcing a revolution in the design of an RC213V which has been doing more harm to its drivers than good for two years. The new opus should be more powerful, more user-friendly, allowing the brand to shine with or without its champion Marc Marquez. We are waiting to see on the Sepang track, during the first 2022 tests in the category, what this will be like. But some are doubtful while a disappointment could impact the transfer market, sensitive to the slightest event...
La nouvelle Honda will it be the big surprise of a 2022 season that the predictions are already serving to Ducati on a silver platter? The revised RC213V still has everything to prove, but we are talking about the HRC trigram which has nevertheless made progress on the subject. And it's not like the house to talk for nothing. So, we await the sequel, on the track this time, with interest.
The Honda? a motorcycle rebuilt in five months is a gamble
What do observers think? One of the most prominent, in this case Charles Pernat, advises on mowmag not to withdraw your bet on the safe bet Ducati in view of the approaching campaign… “ I think this will be the year of Ducati. Technically the Desmosedici is a level above everyone else ". And he adds: “ It seems that the Honda has also been totally revolutionized, but it's a gamble, because a bike rebuilt in five months could take everyone a second per lap, but it could also turn out to be an absolute flop ».
« So, if we stay only on the motorcycle subject, I say Ducati without a doubt, even if, in this case, the risk of Complicating life exists with driver management. And in Borgo Panigale they will have to avoid some mistakes of the past. Francesco Bagnaia, for the moment, seems to be the man to bet on, but the tests and the first Grands Prix will also be decisive in understanding possible hierarchies ". The first laps with the regular drivers will take place on 5 February in Malaysia.
