Honda MotoGP boss urges ‘caution’ over positive testing form
“The final position is on Sunday”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Honda MotoGP team boss Alberto Puꦜig says the brand has “to be cautious” about its expectations for the 2025 season despite its encouraging form in 🔯testing.
The Japanese manufacturer comes into the new campaign having suffered one of its worst years ever in MotoGP ꦏin 2024, with it s⛎coring just 75 points in the constructors’ table and achieving a best grand prix result of eighth.
But the 2025 pre-season has been far more positive for Honda, with its riders finis🌺hing inside the top eight and top six at the S🎃epang and Buriram tests.
Race runnꩲing has looked encouraging, while Honda riders have been putting forward positive messages about where the RC213V is at currently.
But Puig says Honda must be “cautious” about placing any big exp൲ectations on itself for the start of the season.
“The effort they are making is good, both the riders and also the LCR riders are really motivated,” he𝐆 told motogp.com.
“But finally, the race is not one ꧃or two laps. We have to see the pace, many things in the grand prix weekend hap🐠pen.
“So, we have to be cautious even though we ♚can be a little bit more optimistic. The 🎀final position is on Sunday.”
One key weakness that remaᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚins with the RC213V is engine performance, though Puig has no timeline for when the brand will bring an updated motor next.
“We identified our missing points and this [𝐆the engine] is one of them,” he added.
“We need to improve the engine and in Japan th🔯ey are really working on it.”
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Joan Mir emerged as ﷽Honda’s leading rider out of the Buriram test, with the Spaniard much happier with the rideability of the bike compared to last year.
“Joan was struggling really a ✃little bit last year and the yea𝓰r before with the connection of the engine,” Puig says.
“So, we are working on it. Some g🅰uys don’t feel it so much and for some guys it can affect a lot your riding style.
“And in Joan’s case it was like this. So, now🐟, on his comments he’s re﷽ferring to this: friendly means he can understand better the way to accelerate, how the throttle is connecting with him.
“So, I think this is why he is more in a motivatio⭕nal mode and more happy.”
Puig has also downplayed the role of new technical director Romanꦏo Albesiano this pre-season, noting that he needs more time to understand what direction Honda must go in next with the bike.
“At the moment, he’s just arrive💞d,” Puig said of Albesiano.
“You cannot expect big things in such a short time. He’s taking care of this and finally he will follow up closely the progress and we hope - and expect - he wil🌼l help us and bring a different kind of technology or knowledge that they are using currently in Europe.”
