Alberto Puig is not having it easy at the moment. If the position he holds as team manager of the Repsol Honda structure was perhaps once envied, it is no longer so today due to a crisis perhaps without precedent in the history of the stable, which had until then been so prestigious. The leader Marc Marquez is on the sidelines, the RC213V is a failure as blatant as the previous version which it should have been forgotten and the final blow perhaps came from Alex Marquez, brother of the leader Maximo Marc who innovated in cruelly reversing the course of history. In fact, before, we were running to join the ranks of Honda. Now, we run away from them whenever the opportunity presents itself...
A flashback that burns all the more because it comes from a Alex Marquez whose decision to go into the clan Ducati via Gresini team has received Marc's endorsement. And that's not all: this departure, made official at Assen, was accompanied by comments which shed even more light on the depth of the slump affecting the proud men of the world's leading manufacturer. Of which Alberto puig is part of the first circle.
We will therefore recall certain comments from the Moto3 and Moto2 World Champion, including these: “ Honda was used to a rider who set a clear line. There was confusion because the comments were different from what Marc had given. So it went from bad to worse ". Or : " at the moment we don't have a good engine and the new parts don't work either...I'm not enjoying this moment and I miss the feeling of being fast. Everyone can draw their own conclusions, but I think smart people understand what's going on ».
Alberto Puig: “Alex Marquez goes for a proven bike, because the Ducati works"
Alberto puig Is he part of “ these intelligent people » ? Apparently yes. For the Spaniard, it is in fact “ a very interesting option "To Alex Marquez. He believes he can do well with a bike that, so far, has proven competitive in the hands of virtually any rider: “ I think he's going for a bike that has proven itself, because the Ducati works. I'm very happy for Alex, he's a driver who hasn't really shown what he's capable of yet. He had a complicated bike to ride. Let's see how it works next year » ends on Todocircuito Puig who has just paid a compliment to Ducati.
