Luca Marini: “Honda listen, a lot, to my feedback… but it’s not enough”
Luc✨a Marini pleased with how Honda listen to him - but has warned their progress so far is not enough

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini has praise🦩d Honda for developing the bike with his feedback in mind - but he has warned that the Ducatis are still a long way off.
Marini was only 18th-fastest on Monday at the MotoGP preseason test in Qatar.
Their search for more downforce ☂included the use of a la🍒rge new aero.
“We worked on a lot, not only the aero packag🐽e,” Marini explained.
“It feels interesting. Nothing huge, no big improvements. But ﷺsmall details which will help for the season.
“We understand the direction of the work.
“They listen, a lot, to my feedback.
“Every time, something positive arrives. In Qatar we have more i🦄tems to try, compared to Se🐠pang.
“This is great because every ⛄time we try something new, it works.
“The bike is developing but the other manufacturerꦫs are𝄹 growing a lot.
“So we still need to 🌱wo🐲rk harder because it’s not enough.”

The timesheets on Monday were topped by Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin, the Du𝐆cati duo who fought for the championship until the final round of last🔥 season.
Al൩eix Espargaro of Aprilia and Br♉ad Binder of KTM were third and fourth, establishing those manufacturers much nearer the front than Honda.
But Marini sees positives: “As the first day, this was better than the first da🐬y of Sepang.
“I am growing. Very lap wasꦉ better because I understand the bike better.
“Here, I am riding betterღ compared to Sepang. “More similar to what Honda needs to go fast.
[Tuesday] I will try to be ev🎃en stronger and faster.”
His plan for th🉐e rest of the Qatar test: “Most of the items we have tried. [Tuesday] is about focusing on performance.
“To try to understand better which area we👍 must work.
“✨The r♑ear grip is one of the most important things.
“We will try to be ﷽in the top 10 because, in a few wee꧒ks, we will be here for the race.”
Marini left VR46 Ducati to takꦚe on his first challenge as a factory rider, replacing Marc𓆉 Marquez at Repsol Honda.
He ent🐠ers the mighty Japanese manufacturer at a low ebb for them, after a few disastrous campaigns.
But Marini’s skilled and concise feedback was seen as a key reason that Honda wanted𝓡 to bring him in, to develop their bike.
He is tied to a long-term deal, one of just two MotoGP riders contracted beyond the🍬 end of 2024, a major show of faith from Honda.
