Honda looks even worse than what Marc Márquez says

 Alberto Puig, director of Repsol Honda, confesses that they need to take three steps to make a competitive motorcycle by 2023. "We have not yet found the right direction," he warns

Marc Márquez did not beat around the bush in Cheste. After the Valencia test, he was forceful when it came to analyzing the 2023 Honda. He could not hide his disappointment with the prototype that gave him the golden wing mark. "Honda is working, they are trying and they have brought a new bike, but we need more if we want to fight for the World Cup. With what we have here we will not fight for the World Cup," he said. And he also sent another notice to his squad: "They already told me that they would have to take one more step for Malaysia, in February, but one is not worth it. They have to take two." A strong warning for navigators...

Well, at Honda they agree with their star driver. The sharp criticism of the eighth champion has even fallen short of the claims of the management of the Japanese team. Alberto Puig, director of Repsol Honda, has stressed that they still have not hit the key. The Catalan already emphasized during the pre-season tests that they must "improve in everything. In power, in braking, in corner entry. Everything. general". And now he has insisted again in a statement provided by his own team.

Honda believes they should take "three steps"

"We have been working hard since the Misano test, but unfortunately we still haven't found everything we are looking for. We have to keep looking for what we want. Now it's time to prepare for the Sepang test. Marc said he needs to take a step and HRC must take two if we want to fight for the title in 2023. And I'm asking for three steps. We need three steps to be on the right path, to find the right direction. Certainly in Japan they have been working very hard, there is no doubt. It is clear and we know it "But unfortunately we still couldn't find the right direction. All our engineers, not only in Japan, but also in Europe, are working and trying. We trust them and we hope that we can meet our expectations and deliver a competitive bike in Sepang." riveted Puig.

The premiere of Mir and Rins

Regarding the debut of Joan Mir and Álex Rins (Suzuki's former couple) with Honda on the occasion of the first 2023 pre-season test, the team manager has indicated: "For a pilot who makes his debut in another team it is difficult to obtain a deep and precise understanding of the bike with only one day of riding. But they tried, for sure what they found was very different from what they are used to and now they will deeply analyze everything they did."

The Moto3 champion wins all four races in our country, as Lorenzo or Márquez did, before jumping to Moto2 No one doubts that Izan Guevara is a 'crack' that, almost certainly, will be even more so in the coming years. The Spaniard prevailed in the Valencia race, to say goodbye to the year, fulfilling the objective that he had set for himself: to achieve victory in the four events in Spain. Only Jorge Lorenzo had obtained it in 2015 and Marc Márquez, in 2019. Both were champions that year in MotoGP, as the one in Palma has been this campaign in Moto3. Aspar's pupil, furthermore, did so being true to himself, in the style with which he has built his crown and with which he has shaped a driving style that threatens to be infallible in the highest displacements: with a devilish cornering, shooting wildly from the start and not worrying about the others at any time.

One of the keys to this good performance is the safety net formed by Vivian, Yeray, Iñigo Martínez, and Vesga, who are vital to understanding the good work of the rojiblancos both in attack and defense. As in previous seasons, high pressing is a key element in Athletic games. Recovering near the rival area means fewer passes to generate a scoring chance, something they are especially grateful for because of the need to live at the high pace that they have been demonstrating. As various components of the squad have been well explained, pressing with one more man leaves the defense...
