Marc Marquez was the top Honda rider on Friday in Catalunya, but with all four RCVs at the bottom of the timesheets the factory’s MotoGP woes were exposed for all to see.
Competing in front of his home fans, it was perhaps the biggest test so far of Marquez’s ‘new approach’, since the Sachsenring, of trying not to override the bike and risk further injuries.How does he deal with it?
While Yamaha riders, directly ahead of the Hondas, battled rear traction, Marquez explained that the Honda is specifically suffering in the long corners. “Those corners are not so difficult for the rider, it’s just go wide, keep the gas and just wait until you have the grip. But we are losing only 0.6 in three corners.
“We need to keep working, for tomorrow the situation will not change, but definitely we need to keep going because still remain many races before 2024.
