Dani Pedrosa's moods are not to everyone's taste at Honda. For the first time since their cohabitation, the yet so measured and placid appearance attacked teammate Marc Márquez about the latest RC213V. Not really a success in itself but one that the same Márquez puts at the top of the provisional general classification of the championship. Meanwhile, the other companions of the Tokyo brand are suffering. A guilty monoculture? The boss on the ground Livio Suppo refutes and instead advises Dani to cultivate her garden.

And the one who only swore by Casey Stoner at the time when the latter was still in activity can do so all the more since the same Pedrosa signed for two more with HRC. But his remarks on a choice of engine character decided solely on the indications of the double World Champion left traces. MM93 responded by calling the only timer to witness. It is now the management which is changing the situation with the recommendation of a suppo relayed by AS.com: “ in MotoGP, you must never stop working. Our bike needs to be improved and we will do whatever it takes for our riders, especially for Pedrosa who is going through a difficult period. His last races, however, were not bad at Mugello and Montmélo. If the bike had been a total disaster he wouldn't have been able to achieve these results. We have to continue to be positive and understand what there is to improve on the bike. He must not be discouraged ».

Then he returns to this story of an engine decided by the sole Márquez : “ All Honda riders, including Crutchlow, asked for an engine that was less brutal at high revs and with more torque. Honda followed this direction. We did a test in Jerez in the off-season but unfortunately we experienced electronic problems there. It was therefore difficult to understand this engine. It's normal that there are doubts and that a competitor like Dani might think that Marc is stronger than him because he has an engine that suits him better. But I think it's an engine that works well for everyone. Everyone will work with their team for development. Honda's intention is to improve the bike for everyone, not just Marc ". Close the ban.
