Luca Marini is a reinforcement of the Repsol Honda Team for the next two years and Alberto Puig is very happy to have the Italian, whom he considers very methodical in his way of working.
The Team Manager of the team spoke about #10, giving him several compliments: ‘Professional is not the word. He is very methodical and is someone who doesn’t want to leave anything for later, he wants to note everything he feels and his comments are very clear, with a very clear understanding even though it is his first time with Honda’.
In the opinion of the Honda manager, ‘Maro’ is adapting well to the new bike after three years at the helm of the Ducati Desmosedici: ‘It is very promising and comes from a bike with high performance and is now understanding this machine, he has adapted very well to the team and we are very happy to have him with us’.
Marini was, it should be remembered, the author of the 19th time on the third day of testing in Sepang (1:58.008s), while his teammate Joan Mir was 10th (1:57.374s).
