Marc Márquez has already ridden the prototype of the Honda motorcycle for 2024 on the Misano test day and was not impressed. In fact, he feels that the problems remain the same.
After the morning tests, the Spanish rider spoke about the new bike: ‘Of course, it is a very different riding style, but in the end the problems are more or less the same. We need to work more‘.
Asked if he still lacks rear grip, Márquez confirmed: ‘Yes‘.
Regarding the differences in riding style, #93 explained: ‘It is different in the riding position, different in how you feel the bike. It is true that at the beginning it is a bit strange, but then, lap by lap, like any new bike, it becomes a bit more natural. But in the end, the way to search for lap time is very similar to the current bike‘.
The six-time world champion also did not hide that he expected more: ‘Of course you always expect more. But we are still working, these are still the first impressions and there are several new engineers in the garage. So, now with that information they have to work and move forward‘.
