The Japanese manufacturers are suffering a woeful campaign - even worse than their bleak 2022 - and there is littlℱe reason to believe things could get better.

At the most recent MotoGP at Assen, three out of four Honda riders were sidelined th🍬rough injury, most notably Marc Marquez whose season has been s♏poiled by crashes.

"After the break we will surely take steps 💮forwa🐠rd,” team manager Puig was quoted by . 

“But we must be aware that 🌠we will not hav⛎e a fantastic bike. 

“Things are not♌ going as we would like and there will be no radical 🅷changes.

"It is difficult to take the bike to the level that is required of u✅s, and the riders are not bringing the expected results. 

“We are trying to make improvements, but the reality is that we are not where♒ we need to be.

“W﷽e need to dig even deeper to find out w♎hat the problems are and what the solutions are.”

Joan Miꦑr and Alex Rins, recruited from Suzuki this season, are both being linked with moves away from Honda already.

LCR Honda’s Rins offered a brief ray of light by winning the🐻 Grand Prix of the Americas, the first Honda 𓄧rider aside from Marquez to win a MotoGP race since 2018.

The troubles of Marquez, the six-time premier class champion and their star rider💧, under𒊎lines Honda’s issues.

"Marc is not༺ at his 🎐best and he suffered a lot of crashes in Germany,” Puig said. 

“T꧃here is no rider on the planet who is happy if he crashes and he understands that the bike doesn't have tꦛhe performance he needs.

"He's a world champion and he always wants to push harder,🤡 he never gives up. 

“The situation ha♏s become a bit more serious, but Marc has to take it easy. We know he's not happy and we respect him.

"After his crash in Mugello he w🅺as very affected. He has arrived new this season and he ▨is not understanding the bike.

"It's not a question of abilitඣy, but also because the bikeไ isn't ready. 

“Marc is having a lot of prob♛lems, but we'll see how he iꦕs when he returns after the summer break.”

MotoGP resumes at Silverstone on August 6.

Honda know that the future of Marquez, who is contracted until the end of 🔯2024, might be at stake.
