P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Luca Marini says Honda’s friendly front end helped him deliver the lowest crash tally of any full-time rider this season.
Luca Marini, the MotoGP rider with the fewest falls this season, attributes his success to the Honda bike’s front-end feel and rear technical improvements on the RC213V.
Despite a mid-season superbike testing crash causing serious injuries and missing three rounds, Marini didn’t fall during a race weekend until round 20 at Sepang.
The HRC rider had only three official accidents this season, the lowest among full-time riders and surpassed only by wild-card and replacement riders.
Marini praised the Honda bike’s handling, especially its ability to save him from front-end crashes, stating it’s much friendlier compared to previous models.
By improving the bike’s rear-end stability, the risk of highside crashes was drastically reduced, making the bike more manageable and user-friendly overall for Marini.
