After his best-yet Honda result at Sachsenring, Luca Marini will benefit from private test knowledge at Brno – but admits the new surface could prove physically demanding on his injuries.
Luca Marini recently completed MotoGP laps at Brno, the Czech Republic’s return to the calendar. Despite being only 80% fit from a previous injury, he achieved his best result as a Honda rider, finishing sixth. Marini will have a slight advantage in track knowledge but expects the new tarmac’s grip to be physically demanding.
Following the positive result at Sachsenring, Marini is focused on further recovery and improving his condition. He aims to step up his performance in Brno and build on the test conducted a few weeks ago. His Moto2 experience at Brno in 2020 could benefit him in this weekend’s MotoGP race.
His HRC team-mate Joan Mir, currently 19th in the world championship, is also preparing for the challenging Brno circuit with optimism. Despite recent difficulties, Mir remains motivated by the team’s potential and aims to capitalize on the improved track surface for a stronger performance.
Meanwhile, Johann Zarco leads the RC213V challenge in seventh place with 104 points. MotoGP’s official sessions at Brno will kick off with free practice on Friday morning, marking a crucial stage before the summer break.
