MotoGP Test Brno: Hard work from Marc Márquez and already new things for Austria

Marc Márquez may dominate MotoGP head and shoulders, teach a lesson this season and make Honda happy with a bike that is far from perfect, he doesn't give up. A hard worker, he spared no effort during the test day in Brno. 70 laps on the clock, chassis and fairing put to the test and this question to which the Cervera phenomenon wants an answer: why be forced to take a 65° angle to turn the RC213V?

An impressive position, which is not within everyone's reach, but which is also a flaw: “ we used some interesting things that we will use in the next race… We are trying to make steering easier and reduce stress on the front tire. And I want to know why I have to take it up to 65 degrees this season. We must know » hammered Marc Márquez. " If you ride with less lean, the grip is better. We also carried out aerodynamic tests as we need to evaluate the best fairing ahead of Austria ».

We are therefore working on all fronts at Honda. For this season and for 2020. “ We are working for this year, but also for 2020. Because we are an official team and when you are a factory team, you always try prototypes. We worked with a slightly different framework to understand some things about the future ».

A carbon frame thus evaluated by the championship leader for 63 points out of Andrea Dovizioso : " It's very similar to the one I already have. My feelings are the same. Crutchlow and I made the same comments and we were very specific in our statements. This is important because we are working in the same direction ". A tribute paid, in passing, to the Briton of an LCR team which is experiencing tension between its drivers since Nakagami demands the same treatment from Honda as that of his teammate.

« We covered more rounds than expected " recognize Marc Márquez. “ We had a lot to do, because Michelin also brought new tires. We also had various aerodynamic parts. We still have a possibility of homologating a new aerodynamic package. What I felt was very positive, we still need to analyze the data carefully. We could approve it for Austria, but it's still not sure ". Come to Spielberg this weekend to find out more…
