Yamaha and Honda as two Japanese manufacturers received class concessions at the start of the 2024 season. A status that allows them to receive many privileges to be able to move more in an effort to improve the performance of their motorbike. Yamaha and Honda continue to dig for various solutions, but it seems that until the first four series of 2024, Yamaha’s digging is starting to find solutions while Honda’s digging is taking them much deeper and seems a bit lost. Next we will discuss Yamaha, now we will first look at the condition of Honda. And no one is more fitting to speak than team manager Alberto Puig in describing the current conditions.
“Honda doesn’t sleep. Bradl tested the bike and we collected a lot of data. “The sensation is good, not negative, but clearly we are not yet where we want to be,” Puig added to AS.
“We have not found the direction we hoped and wanted,” continued Puig Yang is quite confident that by continuing to try new ways, Honda will be able to take a way out of the crisis: “If we can understand the direction we need to take, we can try to take step forward. We have to keep doing what we do: we try many things and we try to find solutions.”
Finally, Johann Zarco and Takaaki Nakagami tested the most advanced solutions from HRC which were brought to Jerez. However, both of them agreed that the solution presented did not provide any improvement and Johann even came to the opinion that the Jerez version of the RC213V should just be forgotten.
Luca Marini and Joan Mir did not test the Jerez version of the RC213V much because according to journalist Peter Bom, in his broadcast, he informed that before the Jerez test, the two Repsol Honda Team racers had already tried that version and preferred to concentrate on the current version in preparation for the next race at LeMans. Mugello and Catalonia.
