Honda is going through a difficult period and Stefan Bradl, the manufacturer’s test rider, wants this not to happen and thus showed his discontent, at the same time as expressing a desire. The delay between everything being done in Japan and arriving in Europe didn’t help either.
With the arrival of Romano Albesiano at the structure, Alberto Puig warned his new colleague that communication with Japan is difficult, and GPOne, who was in conversation with the German rider, gave as an example the WSBK where European structures do it in less than six months what in Japan takes… more than a year.
Maybe that’s why Honda is in the situation it is in, but it is Bradl’s goal for the automaker to react, asking for a reaction: ‘Our main objective must be to constantly be less than a second behind the leaders in qualifying laps and race pace. race . We can’t always lose 1 to 1.5 seconds’.
It is worth remembering that Aleix Espargaró is a strong addition to the structure, he who left his position as a full-time rider and thus joined the brand, having already ridden in Barcelona in tests with the RC213V.
