168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco says Honda MotoGP 🦂riders “must respect” the factory’s winter developments even with Romano Albesiano taking over as technical director.

The signing of Albesiano from Aprilia to spearhead Honda’⭕s technical team marked a major personnel shift for the Ja🤪panese manufacturer, who finished last in the constructors’ standings in 2024.

Albesiano officially began his role in January, meaning he has ha♚d little influence on the development work Honda has done over the winter ahead of this week’s Sepang pre-season test.

LCR൲’s Zarco is sure Albesiano has been able to “give ideas” to Honda’s engineering staff about the bike, but says they are “clearly not stupid” and their work shouldn’t be taken for granted.

“Hℱard to say,” he replied when asked if🔯 Albesiano has influenced bike development.

“I’m sure he could give ideas already, but if we consider t༒hat his work sꦰtarted in January, Honda had prepared things.

“They could not wait for the ideas of Romano at the beginning of January and saꦅy ‘ok, we will prepare everything for the end of January’.

“W🌺e must respect that and go for it because the ideas that also Honda wants to test, they are clearly not stupid.

“The only one that cไan maybe know some secrets can be [Gigi] Dall’Igna, but he’s not the one who signed with Honda.

“I guess he [Albesiano] 🦋could give ideas, but we must go ꦅthrough what was planned from November to now.”

Johann Zarco explains Honda plans in Sepang

Honda has alre꧟ady been on track at Sepang for the shakedown, 💎with Zarco noting that what he saw looked “quite similar” to what he tested at the end of last year.

“From what I could see at the moment, the bike seems quite similar but they are doing many diffe🗹rent things,” he added.

“We will have to choose the chassis tomorrow. That will be🉐 our first targ🌠et.

“They have also some projects on the engine, but maybe not straight away the best one here in Malaysia. Also, on the la✅st day we will do the aero stuff.

“Now with the experience I will not expect something that gives wings and feels that you can fight for podiums straight away, because I see the work but I know it’s hard to put all th💝e things t𝄹ogether.

“The Japanese are mಞaking 𒁏changes, but sometimes the feeling is similar, which is not easy to make a big step forward.

“But with the work now with Rom♔ano I guess things will move.

“He is quite impressed by the potential that Honda can have, and I like this because it’🧸s the same feeling I have and I had one year ago.

“He has the same, so this is nice to feel that we feel the sꦰame thing.”
