Honda riders outline needs from crucial Misano MotoGP test
Honda is currently experiencing one of its worst seasons in MotoGP, with only one race win and a joint last position in the manufacturers’ standings. There have been rumors that Marc Marquez may break his contract and join Gresini Ducati, although both parties have denied this. The significance of Monday’s test at Misano has been debated, but Marquez has downplayed its importance. Honda test rider Stefan Bradl rode the bike that the factory runners will use on Monday, but Marquez and Joan Mir haven’t seen any of the data. Mir, who crashed out of the San Marino GP, would prefer to see a major change that sacrifices other areas rather than small improvements everywhere. Marquez’s main consideration for staying with Honda is who can be hired on the technical side. He has provided a list of engineers he believes will help improve the project. Marquez’s focus for the test is on the bike’s performance rather than lap times, and he wants to evaluate it with a clean mentality and provide the best feedback to the engineers.
