After five rounds, Luca Marini remains without points in the MotoGP season. This Sunday, the Repsol Honda rider finished the French GP in 16th, and only did not cross the finish line behind teammate Joan Mir because he crashed.
The Italian continued to have problems with turning and acceleration, admitting that he still does not understand why he cannot make significant progress throughout a Grand Prix:
– For me, it’s always the same usual problem. What I don’t understand is that I start on Friday with a pace, and I maintain the same pace until Sunday, while Joan manages to take a huge step in the Sunday race. He was having a great race, unfortunately he crashed, but he was having a very good race up to that point. So, we just need to understand.
This week, Honda has a private test in Mugello, and Marini is confident in the solutions he will have: ‘Now we have a lot of work to do in Mugello, focusing on the new bike, and I’m sure the new updates will bring us more towards the top – not much, but a bit‘.
