LCR boss feels Honda’s MotoGP approach "much more efficient" in 2024
Founded by an ex-racer, the team entered the premier class in 2006 with Honda equipment, and has since secured four victories, including Alex Rins’ win at the 2023 United States Grand Prix, the latest Honda victory. Despite Honda’s recent struggles, Lucio Cecchinello feels more crucial within the HRC structure than ever before. Honda faced a pivotal decision between investing more in MotoGP or withdrawing due to bike competitiveness, with top management choosing to stay. The Japanese brand is now focused on restoring competitiveness and has undergone key restructuring, emphasizing collaboration with LCR for development.
