Marc Marquez took a private test in Jarama. The goal is to return to winning the MotoGP championship with Honda.
In the aftermath of the Valencia test Marc Marquez he made a stop in Madrid, where he has been residing since the beginning of the year, before heading to the Jarama circuit, just outside the capital. The eight-time world champion has not stopped yet and held another test in collaboration with Repsol, the title sponsor of Honda, an oil giant that is also working on bio fuel. This will be introduced gradually starting from 2024, until it will be “carbon free” in 2027.
Marc got on his staff Honda RC213V-S, given to him by the Japanese manufacturer for private training on the track, making a dozen laps to test the new bio fuel made by Repsol. It has not noticed any difference compared to traditional petrol and therefore promotes the product made by the Iberian company with flying colors. This is a good opportunity to chat with the media and talk about HRC and the MotoGP season that has just ended.
Marc Marquez trusts in Honda
He wasn’t too satisfied after the last one Irta test of Valencia, complaining about some delay in the development of the prototype. The real test will be the next February test in Sepang, on that occasion Honda assured that it will bring much of the new 2023 material. “Honda must continue to work to have a more competitive team“, He told ‘Marca’. After a few verbal tears in recent days he tries to mend: “My confidence in Honda is total. Despite the problems of 2022, with the injury, the level is close to that of those who won the Constructors ‘and Drivers’ World Championship. We will give everything to win the title“.
The physical condition is clearly improving, the humerus almost stabilized, but rehabilitation will continue throughout the winter. It’s up to the engineers Honda set up a winning package with which to constantly aim for victory. “Anger is useless and neither are threats. I have another two years of contract and the same mentality. My goal is to win again with Honda. I am convinced that I am in the best factory… It never occurred to me to change the livery“.
The arrival of Joan Mir and Alex Rins will help raise the level of competitiveness. But will the RC213V 2023 be a bike designed according to the requests of Marc Marquez or versatile for all riders? “The Marc style bike was until 2021 and the bike for all riders was the 2022 bike… It has to be a constant bike. With the 2022 bike I was able to be in the front on some circuits, but not constant. Now, with the results, we are getting closer and closer. In Valencia we had to find the rhythm“.
