Honda’s test rider has provided theꩲ first feedback on the 2024 bike’s new a🎐erodynamics.

Stefan Bradl put in some laps over two days of testing at Jerez, ahead of the MotoGP Sepang shakedown on February 1-3.

Whispers had already emerged out𒁏 of Spain that this year’s Honda would have a new aero package and a new engine, and will be 8 kilos lighter thaಞn the troublesome bike left behind by Marc Marquez.

even reported that Honda𒀰 staff feel their current bike would have good enough to convince Marquez to stay, if it had been delivered to him earlier.

Bradl told about the RC213V's de🌠velo𝔍pments: “The aero in general has an effect that is unbelievable.

“This filters a litt❀le bit the feeling that the rider has towards theﷺ tyres and asphalt.

“This c⛎hanges the feeling you feel wiꦕth your hands on the handlebars or on your butt.

“The effect is clearly noticeable, especially iꦆn the fast corners.

“We're talking about some🤡 surface area on the fairing, at 150 km/h this has a massive impact.

“Aerodynamics are important for everything today: more top speed, better turning, few𒀰er wheelies.”

New concessions rules could give Honda the opportuni🌞t✤y to climb back towards the top of MotoGP.

The꧒y will benefit, along with Yamaha, more than 🐈the other manufacturers.

They receive 260 tyre tests, three wildcards, two ☂aero uꦬpdates and ongoing engine development.

Their🐻 riders - Luca Marini, Joan Mir, Johann Zarco🉐, Takaaki Nakagami, Stefan Bradl and Takumi Takahashi - can feature at the Sepang shakedown, giving them a head-start over their rivals.

Bradl revealed♏ the wildcards have been applied for the rounds at Jerez, Barcelona and the Sachsenring.
