Honda is one of the manufacturers who demonstrated during the two days of testing at Sepang that they kept their promise to improve their motorcycle. Team manager Alberto Puig observed all this to congratulate himself on a positive start to the vintage. The new concept needs to be refined, but the potential is there since the four RC213V drivers are in unison. Yes, all four, because Marc Marquez was there, which slowed down the time of the transfer market on which Puig also said a word…
Factory Honda has enough to be satisfied with her winter work at the end of the Sepang tests. This transition exam towards the 2022 season gave reason to consider the exercise in a positive way, a good feeling shared with Aprilia et Suzuki. As Like Ducati already had nothing to worry about, it was on the side of Yamaha et KTM that the soup was served with a grimace when it was time to sit down at the table…
Honda had promised a new concept for its RC213V and the brand has actually done its homework with results that makeAlberto puig a satisfied man: “nWe are happy, we are working with a different concept. TAll pilots give us the same comments, we are not 100% yet, but I can say that this has been one of our best tests. Our goal is to improve the entire motorcycle ».
The tests also made it possible to review Marc Marquez in action, since he recovered from diplopia which, as the eight-time World Champion said, can nevertheless recall his bad memory at any time..."We have to be aware that Marc Marquez stopped last year at Misano, he spent the whole winter looking at the sky and now he got on the bike and he is already fast. We are very happy and grateful for the luck he had with the eye. Little by little he will return to his level, even if he is already fast, as usual » says Puig on motosan.
Alberto Puig: “ 2023? I do not wanna talk about it«
Although the 2022 season has not yet started, there is already talk of 2023. Various media assure that Honda is interested in drivers from other manufacturers to bring them into its ranks for next year. One of the most talked about riders who could be in contact with Honda is the current Suzuki rider Joan mir.
Alberto puig was categorical and declared that no one had contacted them and vice versa: “ that's not true, and I think talking about it at this time of the season is disrespectful to everyone. For our riders, for Suzuki, for everyone. So I don't want to talk about it because point number one is not true and point number two is not the time ". Certainly, but in view of the events and the discoveries made at Sepang, there is no doubt that reflections have been made on the post-2022 period.
