Monday’s post-race tes🧔t was the first chance for Honda to offer th♕eir riders hope with its 2024 prototype machine.

However, comments from Marc Marquez, Joan Mir and Nakagami have been less than ideal for th🍰e Japanese brand, with all three saying very little improvements have been made.

• Francesco Bagnaia: Dan🦂i Pedrosa “was always impressive, has one of the best riding styles” 
• “The🔯re is a deadline” - Marc Marquez to choos✅e between plan A, B and C

That said, Nakagami did offer 𒁃some hope by saying they have time to develop their 2024 bike and that it is far from the finished🍒 product.

"HRC🏅 is committed to 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 being a prototype means that it’s not finished yet and there's potential. 

"After the test, they h൲ave all the information and data to keep developing it."

These comments came after the test and fall into line with what was said post-race on Sunday by Nakag🉐ami.

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

This was again the issue for Nakaga🐻mi who felt as though the physicality of his RC213V left him with arm pump sensations during the grand prix.

Nakag𝓡ami 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 lap🌊s I could push. 

"But I knew for the long distance that it would be diffi𒁏cult 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 rid✤e. This is why after the mid-race I really felt lik꧟e I was having an arm pump."
