Bleakness of Honda MotoGP woes laid bare after Barcelona sprint
On Friday, the four Honda riders occupied the final four spots on the timesheets in Barcelona. However, Marc Marquez was able to secure a spot in Q2 and finished second in the session, although he knew that 12th place was the best he could achieve. In the race, Marquez initially had a strong performance and was as high as seventh, but he ultimately faded to 11th, finishing 11.8 seconds behind the winner. Despite the results, Marquez considered it a “good day” and emphasized the importance of moments like Q1 and the early laps of the race for his confidence. On the other hand, his Honda teammate Joan Mir had a difficult race, describing it as the “worst feeling” he has ever experienced on a motorbike. Mir struggled with traction and felt that he was losing out even to the other Honda riders.
