Marc Marquez tells Honda to “swallow your pride” as new tech boss is hired
"Hiring an engineer who can make you skip steps is ▨cheap for a factory"

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has discussed his former team Honda’s revised stra꧂tegy in hiring a new technical director.
Romano Albesiano - who helped transform Aprilia from MotoGP’s slꦅowest bike into a grand prix - will join Honda in 202🌳5 to oversee their technical department.
It i𒐪s the latest big step taken by the stru🌳ggling Japanese manufacturer to restore their lost competitiveness.
And it a notable change of philosophy to hire a Eu꧅ropean into a crucial, senior job.
"I didn't know,” Marquez, who walked out on Hondꦬa last year due to frustrations with the project, told on Friday at the♌ Japanese MotoGP.
“For me, Honda has the largest infrastructure, the largest budget iꦉn the paddock.
“The issue is that, in the end, those who decide are people, they are humans, three or four people𝓡 who are in 🔯charge of the project.
“I've always said it: hiring ൩an engineer who can make you skip steps is cheap for a factory.
“And I think that'🌊s one more step in the technical point that Honda is at right now: trying to cut the times to get back to the highest leve🦂l, which they are going to achieve.
“But if you can cut the times by hiring engineers from other factories who give you immediate solutions, witho꧒u🐭t having to investigate, that is cheap for a factory.
“I have always had that concept, no m🥀atter how much they ask you for another technician, no matter how much the engineer asks you for more, it is cheap, because it is much more expensive to try parts.
“In the end, you find one, yes. But for me it is a success [to hire a new technical director]. I don't k🔯now what the engineer is like, but it is a success if they are going in that direction."
Marquez continued: "The issue is that pride in competition is bad. In ꧋competition, there is a moment when you will win, when you will l꧙ose.
“When you lose, you have to swallow your pride and know how to unde⭕rstand that others are doing better.
“There are people who get it befo𝐆re; There are people who underst꧂and it later, but, for me, it's not a lack of pride, it's intelligence.
“If you see that other factories are doing that, in the case of Yamaha, for example, and they are cutting tim🎃es before you, doღ the same.”
Marquez has retained a dignified relationship with his ex-team since jo🎐inin🎉g Gresini Ducati this year.
When he won his first grand prix on a Ducati, he visited his former Honda colleagues to share the c🌺elebrations with them.
Honda’s announcement that they have recruite♐d Aprilia’s Albesiano for💞 next year is an intriguing move.
Aleix Espargaro will also s𒅌wap Aprilia racing duties for a Honda te🤪st role, meaning he will work with Albesiano again.
