“No excuses for Honda!” Joan Mir and Alex Rins? “If they don’t get lost…”

Former Ducati ဣand Honda chief Suppo was in charge at Suzuki last year, wheꦯre he led Mir and Rins.
Honda look strong on paper - their 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP 2023 rider line-up pairs Mir with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez at Repsol Honda, and Rins with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Takaaki Nakagami at LCR - but la𒈔st y🔯ear their riders were undermined by the performance of the bike.
"Both Joan and Alex only have experience with Suzuki in MotoGP," said Suppoཧ. "They’ve only been able to ride an inline-four engine, which riders in the paddoc🌠k will tell you is easier to ride than the V4.
“But if they can ta𝕴ke that out of their minds and approach ඣthe bike as a bike, I believe that will help them.
“It won’t be easy for sure as they have a very difficult reference inside because Marc is Marc. It’s 10 years that nobody has been able to score more point🌟s than him over a season on the same bike.
“The ༒last time Honda won a race without Marc was back in 2017, which is a very long time.
"They have a difficult challenge in front of them, this is obvious. But I believe ꧋both can do it. They’re both super talented and with the right approach, the right mindset,🔯 I believe they can have good seasons.
“It depends on the ♑bike, of course, but I have no doubt over the talent of🐲 both Joan and Alex. If they don’t get lost, that talent will show.
"They’ve both got two-year contracts with HRC𒀰. I think that’s enough time to get used ꩲto a new configuration and enough to prove that they are fast. Every year we start from zero and everyone has the same opportunity.
“Even though the gap between Honda and Ducati, which is the best bike out there, is h🌱uge, I still think they can have a good season."

𒉰Honda scored zero points in a premier class race for the first time in 40 years in Germany last season.
Somehow Marquez, who missed 🍎six rounds to undergo surgery then returned while rehabbing his arm, was Honda’s highest-placed ri🦂der in the MotoGP standings.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez♕ has departed, linking up with Gresini Racing this year.
"Honda now has two former wor🔯ld ♌champions," Suppo said.
"A rider who won two of the last three races and Nakagami, who▨ has proved he is far from a slow rider.
“They don’t have any rookies, they don’t have anyone there for other reasons. They ha🏅ve four good riders.
“Three of them are able to win races, two of them win a championship, so they cannot blame the riders if the p�♑�erformance isn’t there. There are no excuses.
"Someti🌠mes when the results don’t come it’s easy for the technicians to say 'yeah but the bike is good, look at Marc or Casey Stoner. The other riders are slipping, they’re feeling the pressure'.
“But, on paper, they have a very strong line-up. We all know what those riders are able to do so if they can’t do what we know they can, the bike is a problem. You can be sur🔯e that if the results don’t come, 🐻then the problem is clearly the bike."
