‘24 Honda is 8 kilos lighter; "we would very likely have retained Marc Marquez”
Report🥃s in Spain claim Honda have taken huge steps forward - but Marc Marquez had already decided to go

Repsol Honda reportedly think that their 2024 prototype bike is competitive enough to have kept 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez - but it arrived too late.
Team members believ💟e that, if the🐼y could have delivered the developed bike at the September test in Misano, Marquez would not have quit, report.
"We w🦂ould very likely hav💯e retained Marquez and, without a doubt, we would have started to make up for lost time,” the report quotes an anonymous member of the team.
The prototype used at the postseason test was 8 🐻kilos lighter, it is reported, a major advancement.
In Misano in September, Honda bosses in Japan and team manager Alberto Puig “decided to launch the design, construction and tuning of a motorcycle” with the in🌸tention of convincing Marquez.
But Honda staff feel Marquez made his decision to leave after being disap🍌point♈ed by the bike given to him at the September test.
His decision became official in October.
By the time Repsol Honda’s 2024 prototype was ready for the postseason test i🎶n Valencia, ꦛMarquez had already joined Gresini Ducati.
"Marc had been asking for two years for them to make a bike shorter and, above a൩ll, to slim it down, to take weight off and they never listened to him,♕” the report writes.
“And now, in two months, th♌ey design and build a new bike that, possibly, after testing it in the Misano test, would have made him doubt and perhaps, now, we would still have the best rider in history.”
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini replaced him and, along with Joan Mir, profited frไom the Honda which is being tipped as a major improvement from last season’sꦬ.
The new 2024 Honda is "totally new: it is l🤡ower, it has a new engine, suspensions, aerodynamics... it is completely new," the report cites sources from within 🍃Honda.
"Slimming a MotoGP bike down 8 kilos, in two months, is a titanic task, 🐓believe me."
The complete turnaround of a brand new bike in just two months is seen as proof of Honda’s power, and its potential to return to the fron🌳t of MotoGP.
A separate source who has since left Honda reportꦕed𝓡ly said: "If you take 8 kilos off a bike in just two months, if you put your mind to it, you're capable of making a winning bike.
"Even if you don't do anything else to the bike, which they have, when you lose eight kilos of a MotoGP 🌟bike, the bike runs more, accelerates more and better, pulls a lot more, brakes less abruptly, lies down a lot more and, above all, it becomes a bike easier to ride, whatever the style is."
