After back-to-back ജpodiums for Johann Zarco in France and Britain, Honda was outside the top-three positions in a MotoGP race for the first time in two races at the Aragon Grand Prix, but Honda HRC C𒈔astrol boss Alberto Puig assures that the Japanese factory “clearly understands” its problems.

The post-race test at MotorLand offered an opportunity for ꦍteams to address some of the issues they have been facing in the opening eight rounds of the 2025 MotoGP season, as well as one🌃s that cropped up in Aragon itself.

For Honda, it was a chance to try some new material, despite the absence of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini after his Suzuka 8 Hours testing crash.

“We are trying, as usual, many small things and some big ones,” said 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Honda HRC Castrol Team Manager Alberto Puig, ⭕speaking to MotoGP.com at the Aragon test.

“You saw us try a new swingarm.

“The rest are small things which can give us ဣdirection.

“Unfortunately we don’t have Luca🎃 here but Joan [Mir] and Johann [Zarco] will try, and Chantra will try other things.

“It’s too early to make comparisons but, forꦜ me, the most significant thing of a part, when it’s new, is t🐈he lap time.

“I🧸f the lap time is bet🅺ter you need to be, at least, reasonably happy.”

Honda reassure 'we are not stuck'

Puig added the reassuran𝔉ce that Honda is “not😼 stuck” in its current position.

“We𓆏 are not stuck,” he ♛said. We are progressing step by step.

“We can understꩲand that the bike is improving. Thꦿe riders understand this.

“W🦩e clearly understand our big problems. In Japan, they are working hard on this.

“🔯We always say the same thing – we♕ will never give up.”

Joan Mir’s feedback after the test was also upbeat, feeling progress had been made in terms of turning th꧅anks to a new swingarm.

“We tried maﷺny items,” the 2020 M🌄otoGP World Champion said.

“We focused on turning, trying to get more grip.

“In ter🉐ms of the engine, we didn’t 🅺get an upgrade here.

“It was positive, we triಞed a swingarm which🐎 was slightly better. It allowed us to approach the corner in a better way.”
