Repsol Honda are expected to run a similar package for this weekend's San Marino MotoGP but there could be big changes to the RC213V at Monday’s Official test.

In the words of team manager Alberto Puig, the test will see Honda’ꦗs “biggest step of the year” with a “full package” of upgrades for the struggling RC213V.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini, starting the last eight rounds of his debut Repso✨l Honda season, also described it as a “crucial point”.

“Every race is important… but may𒈔be the Misano test is a little bit more important,” said💖 the Italian.

“It’s like a key point for the engineers, the Misano test, 🎉because all the development will be there with new pieces, with new updates, which have been plan༒ned since the beginning of the season.”

Marini, who has scored just one point so far this season, e🌄xplained that the private testꦡs now possible with race riders due to the revised concessions were more spur of the moment.

“But the Misano test will be a crucial point, because we have big updates and I 🤡hope also that the fe🐽eling on the bike will improve a lot, not just a little bit like we made until now,” he said.

“Because we✨ made very g🍸ood steps forward, but every time little steps. So we need a bigger step.”

Team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Joan Mir also confirmed that the RC213V is li𒊎kely to be unchanged from Aragon for this weekend’s first 🦩Misano event, but that upgrades from the official test could be raced from ‘Misano 2’ onwards.

“I think that the new thin🔯gs that can help us at the second part of the race, they will arrive after Misano [1],” he said, clarifying: “After Misano test.

“Aragon and Mꦺisano [1] we will have the [same] package… but the big things will come after that race. So I expect that from then on, we can be a little bit more close𝓰.”

Unfortu🎐nately for Mir, the Misano weekend didn’t start well with sickness on T💞hursday causing the 2020 world champion to cancel all his media commitments.

Takaaki Nakagami is currently the top Honda rider in the world championship, with 18 points for 18th place. Johann Zarco is 1ཧ9th (17 points), with Mir 21st (15 points) and Marini 24th (1 point).
