Mir gets his Honda prototype wish amid Marquez’s disinterest
Repsol Honda’s MotoGP team will be using different machines at the Japanese Grand Prix, with Joan Mir opting for Honda’s new 2024 prototype RC213V chassis and Marc Marquez sticking with the current version of the bike. Mir had a positive experience with the new frame at Misano, while Marquez did not feel it was worth adjusting his riding style for the marginal gains in braking. Mir, despite winning at the Indian Grand Prix with the old bike, is still eager to work with the development bike and test it for next season. He will decide which bike to use based on his comfort and performance during the weekend’s track action. Marquez, on the other hand, remains highly skeptical of the prototype’s potential.
