Luca Marini: 'Only those two are pushing in this way, with their body below the bike'
insists he’s been pushing at 100% every lap while awaiting much needed technical progress from the Honda RC213V.pole and podium finisher at VR46, has endured a torrid start to his Repsol career and is the only full-time rider without a point in 2024.
To put that into perspective, the top Honda competitor - team-mate Joan Mir - has scored just 12 out of a possible 185 points. Nonetheless, Marini has been in last place during 7 of the 10 races so far, including Sprints. With test rider Stefan Bradl’s recent Honda prototype being given a thumbs down by all four race riders, the standard bikes were again used during last weekend’s French MotoGP.
Marini was at the back in both Le Mans races but explained that - while the delivery of technical updates is out of his hands - he can experiment with body position and riding style, taking inspiration from Ducati’s title leaders Jorge Martin and Francesco Bagnaia.“I'm trying . I'm trying to work on my style or my position because now you can see that Pecco and Martin can make the difference with their body,” Marini said.
If Honda progress was made at Mugello, the new parts could be used during next weekend's Catalan round.
