Zarco: Honda ‘doesn’t need to be pessimistic’ about MotoGP form
Honda’s performance decline has persisted in the new racing season, with the RC213V still falling behind competitors despite extensive upgrades during the winter. At the recent Americas GP, Honda left empty-handed with Luca Marini finishing last as others faced issues and retired. Despite the early setbacks, rider Zarco remains optimistic about Honda’s potential to bounce back and improve its results. The team acknowledges the challenges of the new project but remains determined to analyze and understand the technical aspects to progress. Honda MotoGP boss Puig is puzzled by the lack of tangible results despite positive changes made to the bike, aiming for a significant performance boost by the summer break. Zarco views the setbacks as crucial lessons to propel Honda towards success by strategically integrating new elements and utilizing the concessions system for advantage.
