Repsol Honda arrives at this weekend’s Indonesian MotoGP fresh from its best race of the season at Misano laꦚst Sunday.

For the first time this year, both Joan Mir and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini scored points, for 11th and 12✃th places respectively.

Mir thus equalled 🎀Honda’s best result of the season, wꦿhile Marini claimed by far his highest finish on the RC213V.

The big quest𓃲ion now is whether the new package of parts introduced between Misano 1 and Misano 2 will sꦚhow the same promise at Mandalika.

“We have to be smart because everything we tried in Misano maybe doesn’t work here because it is🤪 a completely different situation,” Marini said.

“So on Fr🧜iday we have to try to understand all the updates we have on the bike and how to mix them in the best way, or maybe just leave them as in Misano, to find the best compro🍒mise for these last races.

“Because here the grip especially will be completely different to Misano✱.”

Marini, who took pole position for VR46 Ducati at Mandalika last season, is optimistic. Not only is it a good track for the Italian but Honda finished a reasonable 11th (Takaaki Nakagami, Sprint) and 9th (Alex♏ Rins, GP) last season.

“I think the bike has made a step in general so it will work well here also,” Marini predicted.ꦇ “We have to understand if the performance can be the same level or lower or maybe higher. Because last year here Honda was꧂ quite fast.

“I made the pole position but also Taka and Marc were not far and also for race pace it was one o🏅f the best races for Honda. So I hope we can fight for a good position and stay in the points and, for qualifying, maybe go in Q2.”

Marini confirmed that the new aero package was the bi✤ggest improvement between Misano 1 and Misano 2.

“We had many changes and updates from the test. We have a new swingarm, new aero - which was the biggest change especially - and a few other things in the bike that help us to find better corner entry ꦚspeed and turning,” he said.

“Still the traction is s🌱omething difficult to sol🤪ve, on the exit part of the corner. We are still working on it.”
