He was having a private test with Honda.

If you pause the video at tꦓhe exact time he passed, you will notice that the Honda he’s riding looks very similar to a KTM or a Ducati, in terms of aero packages.

Which leads me to believe that this is either an upgrade for the 2023 season (they can bring one fairing change) oᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚr this is the devel♉opment bike for the 2024 season.

There was a different look to the Honda.

It looks like they’re going for the ground-effect fairi♚ng, and the win🍌glets at the back.

It looks very similar to what we’ve see🐠n from Ducati and KTM.

However, is it going to solve their problems? I don’t 💖think so.

The issue with Honda is that seem to just put th🍸eir aerodynamic packages onto the🐓ir bike, they don’t incorporate them into the bike. They just stick it on and hope it works!

K🐼TM and Ducati mould their packa𒈔ge and incorporate it to work with the engine.

Honda’s engine is the big probl🎉em. The electronics, and the way that the engine works, is o൩verly aggressive.

It’s not going to solve their problems, just bolting on aജ new aerodynamic package.

MotoGP doesn’t work like that anymore. It ෴might have in 2🌱016, 2017 and 2018 when you could just change the fairing and get some gains.

Now, these things are so dep꧃endent on the aero, the engine, and the ride-height device, a▨nd everything else working in tandem.

If they can sort the engine out, I can im⭕agine it will b♋e somewhat more competitive.

But is it real🐭ly the answer, to copy KTM and Ducati, if you’re not going to improveꦍ the core of the bike?
