Honda’s surprise new MotoGP technical recruit should bring all the knowledge needed for it to catch its rivals. But only if he’s given chance
The departure of Romano Albesiano from Aprilia to join Honda was a shocking development in the MotoGP paddock during the Japanese Grand Prix. Many wonder if he will be the missing piece to help Honda regain competitiveness. With Albesiano’s track record of turning Aprilia’s RS-GP into a race-winning machine, there is optimism that he can engineer similar success at Honda. Despite initial struggles at Aprilia, Albesiano’s focus on engineering over team management saw significant progress. At Honda, he can concentrate solely on engineering, facing the challenge of convincing management to embrace necessary changes for success. With Honda’s abundant resources, Albesiano has a greater chance to make a major impact and lead the team back to the front of the grid.
