Marc Márquez began his hibernation like his MotoGP colleagues but except that he unhitched his bike earlier than them. No tests in Jerez and no Superprestigio for the trifle, the quadruple crowned in five years among the elite took a saving step back to recover from a campaign made trying by an obstinate and stubborn Dovizioso. MM93 also finished his exercise reassured after a test run on the 2018 version of the RC213V. Reassured, but without certainty.
The Honda official was pleased to discover the new version of the Honda for future games. Apparently more docile, this latest generation of the RC213V seems to be the right striker, but the teammate of Dani Pedrosa temper on Motorsport : “We actually haven’t really started the offseason yet. In the coming months, work will be done and everything can still change.”
« We stay in touch with the engineers during the winter and I went to Japan to see how things were going. There are still parts to improve, but that's still the case. The first impression of Valencia was good, but we have to wait until the tests on tracks which are not favorable to us to see if we have gained in speed. ».
It will be recalled that within the HRC, Dani Pedrosa has won nine victories in the last five seasons compared to thirty-five in Marc Márquez. That’s a gap of twenty-six achievements…
