He was having a private test with Honda.

If you pause the video at the exact time he passed, you will notice that the Honda he’s riding looks very𓄧 similar to a KTM or a Ducati, in terms of aero packages.

Which leads me to believe that this is either an upgrade for the 2023 season (they can bring o♒ne fairing change) or this🍎 is the development bike for the 2024 season.

There was a different look to the Honda.

It looks like they’re going for the 🍨ground-effect fairing, and the winglets at the back.

It looks very similar t💞o w🧔hat we’ve seen from Ducati and KTM.

However, is it going to solve their problems? I don’t ܫthink so.

The issue with Honda is that ✅seem to just put their aerodynamic packages onto their bike, they don’t incorporate them into the bike. The☂y just stick it on and hope it works!

KTM and Ducati mould their package and incorporate it to work with the eng♔ine.

Honda’s engine is the big problem. The electronics,🃏 and the way that the enܫgine works, is overly aggressive.

It’s not going to sol😼ve the꧙ir problems, just bolting on a new aerodynamic package.

MotoGP doesn’t work like that anymore. It might have in 2016, 2017 and 2018 when you could just change💙 the fairing and get some gains.

Now, these things are so dependent 𒁏on the aero, the engine, and the ride-height device, and everything else working in tandem.

If they c💙an sort the engine out, I can imagine it will be somewhat more competitive.

But is it really the answer, to copy KTM and Ducati, if you’reꦉ not going to improve the core of the bike?
