Seven rounds into his Repsol Honda career and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini is still searching for his first MotoGP world championship point on an RC213V.

It’s a far cry from a year ago at VR46 Ducati, when at the same stag𝓰e of the season he had just taken his first MotoGP Sprint and GP podiums, scored 72 points🦋 and was sixth in the standings.

Th🍎e Italian admits it’s a ‘really difficult situation’ but has 'trust' in turning around the RC213V project: ‘For sure in the f꧋uture I will be much happier than now’.

“I'm quite surprised about my mentಌal approach of this m🐼oment, because it's a really difficult situation for me,” Marini said.

“When I'm watching the TV [feed] that Dorna plays in the afternoon and evenings [in the paddock], with all of the races from ♔last year, I see myself in the first three positions.

“So it hurts a little bit looking⛄ at the classification now.

“But I know that this is a different project that I trust in very much, and for sur💝e i🥀n the future I will be much happier than now.

“So just be calm and reℱlaxed, ♒keep working because all the Japanese are doing a great job.”

While Honda is still last in the constructors’ standings, and its top rider - Marini’s team-mate Joan Mir - only 18th in the riders’ ✨championship, there is cautious optimism that the latest engine and aero modifications are in the right direction🌞.

“We still need to work on the setting, because with the new aero, a little bit the balance of the bike changed, so we need to 🐻adjust something,” Marini said.

The revised engine to try and aid turning, introduced at Barcelona, is also:A step for the future, so we still must work on the development of the bike - not focus on what is maybe the fastest option fo🌠r going fast today, but for going fast tomorrow.”

Marini is in the first year of a two-year Honda deal with Mir rumoured to be 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:on the ve꧙rge of re-signing for 2025.
