Monday’s 🌟post-race test was the first chance for Honda to offer their riders hope with it💦s 2024 prototype machine.

However, comments from Marc Marquez, Joan Mir and Nakagami have been less than ideal for the Japanese brand, with all three saying very littleཧ improvements🌱 have been made.

• Francesco Bagnaia: Dani Pedrosa “was always impressive, has one o🦹f the best riding styles” 
• “There is a dead🤡line” - Marc Marquez to choose between plan A, B and C

That said, Nakagami di🅘d offer some hope by saying they have time to develop their 2024 bike and that it is far from the finished product.

"HRC is committed t🦩o🥂 providing us with distinct ideas to fix the current situation," said Nakagami. 

"Regarding the 2024 prototype, I haven’t felt a massive difference compared to the bike we are using now, but beinﷺg a prototype means that it’s not finishe♛d yet and there's potential. 

"Af♋ter the test, they have all the information and data to keep developing it."

These comments came after the test and fall into line with what was said pos꧅t-race on Sunday by Nakaga𒅌mi.

Rear grip has killed Honda so far thisඣ season, with acceleration being one ඣof the areas where they lose the most.

This was againꦬ the issue for Nakagami who felt as though the physicality of his RC213V left him with arm pump sensations during the grand prix.

Nakagami said: "We couldn’t find any improvement on the bike and I was also struggling from the﷽ beginning. 

"I knew that for the longer race distance it was going to be much more ♏difficult. Only for a few laps I coওuld push. 

"But I knew for the long distance that it would be difficult to keep the pace and the 🥂same riding because the bike is so heavy and has a lack of rear grip. 

"It’s a lot of fighting against my bike. Seems from FP1 we weren’t able to find a good balance ༺on the braking and the rear pushes the front. It’s really difficult to stop the bike. 

"I’m forcing a lot on the bike to try and stop the bike. It’s not a natural way to ride. This is ꦗwhy෴ after the mid-race I really felt like I was having an arm pump."
