168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini is desperate to overturn a d🎃ifficult start to his Honda career at the scene of his🐼 best-ever result.

The MotoGP of the Americas this weekend allows Marini༒ a chance to tap into great memories of a year ago.

Then riding a VR46 Ducati, Marini finished second at the Circuit of the Americas to registe𒈔r his top result in three seasons in the pr⛦emier class.

He has sin💦ce switched to Repsol Honda as Marc Marquez’s replacement.

After two rounds of the 2024 season🐼, he is one of three riders yet to score a single p🌳oint.

But encouragingly, Honda head to COTA knowing they won last year’s grand prix amid a dreadful year. Alex Rins of LCR Honda fin🎀ished ah🌌ead of Marini.

“Austi💞n holds a special place in my heart and I have🍷 good memories from last year,” Marini said.

“๊We arrive in a different situation this year but I am still positive that we can make more progress in America.

꧙“It’s a very particular circuit in Texas and you’ve seen that Honda has had something there in the past.

“No matteꦐr the track, our focus and intention stays the same a🍷s we keep building this project.”

Marini has finished a drab 20th and 17th in the two grands prix to 🧸kickstart his career as a factory rider so is🍨 hoping for improved fortunes in Texas.

Joan Mir, 💧his teammate, has fared marginally b💞etter with seven points overall.

He has finishe🃏d 13th and 12th in the first two Sunday races.

Unlike Marini, his mem♐ory of last year at COTA is not encouraging.

The race in America was among nine grands prix that Mir started but failed to finish in a woeful debut camp🦩aign with Honda.

He said: “Going to America is always nic𒊎e, we only get to see the fans there once a year so it's important to put on⛦ a good show.

“We go to a third very different track in three races so we need to look and understan꧅d how the Honda is going there.

“COTA is one o💟f the most unique layouts on the calendar and especially the first sector on track is very specific.

“Quite a lot of the track has been reܫsurfaced since 👍we were last here so I am looking forward to seeing how those changes impact the track.”
