Upon arriving at Repsol Honda, Luca Marini will also have a new teammate – Joan Mir, the MotoGP world champion in 2020, who will be in his second year with the manufacturer.
Although he recognizes that posting a good time in the Valencia tests is a good indicator, the Italian downplayed it by stating on the Por Orejas podcast: ‘Being the fastest in the test doesn’t count for much, what’s important is being the fastest in each race and at the end of the season, but yes, it was a good sign‘.
As for his relationship with Mir, Marini expressed confidence that it will be positive: ‘My relationship with Joan will be very good, we are two very similar guys, very introverted, who work calmly, we will definitely get along very well‘.
