Honda test Kalex chassis ahead of Marc Marquez return

Reꦰpsol Honda’s star rider has completed oওnly two grand prix laps in a dreadful start to 2023, after crashing into Miguel Oliveira in Portimao causing injuries to both men which ruled them out of Argentina.
His teammate Joan Mir also missed Argentina - meaning Repsol Honda had no riders on the grid - and their comeback in time for next weekend’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP G꧋rand Prix of the Americas is unconfirmed.
But Stef🔯an Bradl, Honda’s test rider, has beꦺen put through his paces over two days in Jerez.
It was the first time that Honda have tested the chassis they commissioned from s꧃pecialists Kalex.
Bradl’s feedback will be a key component as Honda consider how toﷺ make their RC213V more competitive amid Ducati’ಞs domination.
Kalex were as﷽ked by Honda to provide a chassis before the start of this season. It was initially targeted for May 1 but has been fasttracked.
Kalex’s swingarm expertise is popular among ꦇMoto2 bikes.
Test riders for KTM, Aprilia and ꦦYamaha were also in action in Jerez this week.
