Luca Marini has spoken for the first time as a Repsol Honda rider to insist that beating his teammate is his first objective.
Luca Marini has officially joined Honda for the 2024 MotoGP season, replacing Marc Marquez who moved to Gresini Ducati. Marini sees this as an opportunity to improve and build a better bike with better performance, aiming to win races and championships. He believes that Honda has the power to come back and stay at the top for many years, despite their recent struggles. Marini’s analytical skills and data-driven approach make him a great fit for Honda, as they seek rejuvenation. He is excited to work with the team and feels a good energy with the Japanese staff. Marini’s move to Honda holds sentimental value as his brother Rossi once represented the brand, and Marini himself wore Honda leathers in his early days in racing.
