Marc Marquez He left Honda, he even thought about retiring… but he ended up signing with Gresini. And the play turned out well. Because only a year later, he took the plunge Ducati, the best bike on the grid. He will have serious title options in MotoGP for next season.
Luca MariniHonda rider, left a ‘stick’ to Marc saying that he was no longer ready to ride this bike. He said this in comments reported by ‘Motosan’ before the Barcelona Solidarity Grand Prix.
“Last year, Marc It wasn’t so fast anymore. and even it couldn’t work properly with the last prototype they brought. After the injury he was no longer the same and the bike has made a big change between last year and this year. Sometimes looking at old data doesn’t yield anything positive,” says Marini.
Honda is in big trouble. It’s the worst bike on the grid. Lots of things to change for 2025. But Marini doesn’t believe it will be a completely new bike: “I don’t think it will be a completely new bike, because in current MotoGP it is impossible to revolutionize the project from one year to the next.
“I think it will just be an evolution of what we have. There might be a chassis and a swingarm, but The most important test will be the engine. “We will try to have a better engine next season because that is what can make the difference,” he said.
Despite everything, he continues to trust the Japanese brand: “Everything happened very quickly and, without a doubt, there were many different and contradictory points of view. But in the end, you do what you feel and think is best for you and your future. . I believe a lot in this project and I think that being leader of a manufacturer rarely happens in a driver’s life.
