Zarco tested rear wheel that MotoGP factory Hondas are unable to use
Parallel to the executive restructuring process initiated by HRC last year, the development of the 2024 version of the RC213 has been progressing rapidly. There has been a clear increase in the number of new parts for testing. A plan has been established involving test structures with Stefan Bradl and LCR with Johann Zarco and Takaaki Nakagami actively contributing. Bradl recently tested a Marchesini rear wheel at Jerez before the 2024 season opener at Losail. Although Zarco experimented with the same wheel, he faced vibrations and decided against using it further. OZ is working to develop a similar solution for Honda, but a definitive resolution remains pending. Marini, on the other hand, resorted to utilizing the concessions system at Jerez to accelerate his adaptation process to the Honda amidst a challenging start to the season that saw him finish significantly behind the leaders.
