"Only" Honda MotoGP target identified

Th♕e standout figure among Honda’s 2025 recruits is of couꦇrse Romano Albesiano, who previously led Aprilia’s RS-GP project.

For the moment, the Italian is still in the learning phase of his time ꦕwith Honda, Puig insisted.

“Regarding [Romano] Albesiano🍌, we are happy t♍hat he joined,” he said.

“Of course, it’s a beginning for him, and thꦚe guy needs time to get used to t𝔍he system in Honda which is completely different, probably, from the Italian way of working.

“Finally, Honda is not an individual, it’s a team – this is whಞere we want to find the strength. “The motivation and the challenge, the target is there – his only one is to bring back Honda to the top positions.”
