168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini has found life at Honda very tough so far in 2024, as he’s not only struggled to be competitive against most of the MotoGP grid, but also his fellow Honda riders.

The former Duca🐷ti rider has struggled to 🍨extract the best from his RC213V which is not a complete surprise, as Joan Mir, Johann Zarco and Takaaki Nakagami have also found it very difficult.

The RC213V remains the slowest bike on the grid as they continue to look for imp꧙rovements.

However, progress for Honda has been very slow and difficult, which is why a splash signing in the form of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro as a test rider has been rumoured.

Esp💃argaro🔜 appears set to join the Japanese manufacturer, with Aprilia hinting at his exit last weekend during the Italian MotoGP at Mugello.

Espargaro, winner of the sprint race in Catalunya a couple of weeks ago, would bring valuable experience given his time🅰 at Aprilia, who 𓆉now have one of the best bikes on the grid.

Keen to have Espargaro onboard, Marini recently spoke to Spanish news🍷 outlet , saying: “I don't know anything, but if it's true, it's 💧great.

“Aleix in the end is an experienced🐠 rider. He has 🔜been at Aprilia for many years and knows its secrets well.

“As a test rider, we hope that he also brings some paper or something hidden (laugh♓s).

“Because, in the end, the rider can explain the sensations and give you instructions, but it is the engineers꧑ who have to create the bike and build it.”

Currently occupying the role of test rider for the factory is Stefan Bradl, but with Espargaro likely to come onboard, Honda could be makingꦆ its first big step in their recovery.

“If he is the test rider, he will be perfect,” added Marini. “In that case, I only feel sorry f⛦or Stefan [Bradl🐭], because I have a very good relationship with him.

“But maybe he💝 will stay too, because for example now KTM even has three different test riders.

“It could also be that they both work with us. But now that you've told me, I'll go talk to Honda to see w♓hat the plans are.”
