“Won’t take long” before Honda “on a level” with Ducati
Honda backed to regain top spot in MotoGP

Honda have been backed to eventually match Ducati’s competitiveness in ꦬMotoGP.
For several years, the stark decline in the once-mighty Honda was evident when Marc Marquez opted to jump ship in pursuit of a Ducati.
But their improvement was obvious to see this season even before 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco’s heroic grand prix win at Le Mans.
The Aragon test🐓 afforded Honda another opportunity to emerge even stronger at the nex🍬t race round in Mugello.
“We are hoping for another step,” TN﷽T Sports’ Michael Laverty said. “The improvements have been big - not ju𒅌st gradual.
“It has taken a lot of data gathering, new staff coming ༺in, new parts a🅠rriving. It all begins to mesh together.
“What we’ve seen from Johann Zarco, Mir and now Luca Marini - they’ve got a fe♔eling at 🤡the front.
“They have a good engine but they need more.
“Overall, it’s a package that is raceable.”
Honda backed to add even more MotoGP performance

The previous struggles of Honda riders were often encapsulated by Joan Mir.
The former MotoGP champion had often cut a miserable figure🌱 on below-par machinery.
But Mir stood out for his newfound comfort last weekend 🍎at Aragon.
“He looked good, he🅷 looked comfortable on the bike,” Neil Hodgson sai💙d.
“He was behind Diggia on a Ducati, and the Honda looked as g🎀ood.
“But unfortunately you get onto the accele𓂃ration and the Duℱcati is strong.
“It’s a relatively easy fix - you can add more power or bring another spec engine. With the concessions, they wil♓l have that lined up.”
There is belief within MotoGP about the recovery powers of Honda💙.
They🌳 are believed to be Jorge Martin’s preferred destination if he leaves Aprilia.
The chase for the factory Honda seat in 2026 is because 🔯Luca Marini is out of contꦉract.
Sudde𒊎nly, tౠhe Japanese manufacturer finds themselves with a coveted bike.
