Honda MotoGP boss Puig "surprised" by German-like feedback from Marini
Luca Marini was chosen to replace Marc Marquez after the eight-time world champion decided to leave the team to join the Gresini Ducati squad in 2024. Previously on Ducati machinery, Marini scored his first MotoGP podiums with Valentino Rossi’s team. Despite Marini lagging in 19th place, Honda Racing Corporation’s Alberto Puig values Marini’s feedback and work method. Marini demanded a two-year contract with HRC, securing his position beyond 2024 when Mir’s contract ends. Puig anticipates Mir will improve this season, as Honda supports his progress with the new bike in this crucial year for the former Suzuki world champion.
