Marc Marquez in the tunnel: “He can only hurt himself”

“With this Honda, Marc Marquez is in a tunnel with no way out, he can only hurt himself”: former MotoGp rider Carlos Checa, now a commentator for Dazn, was peremptory about Marquez’s plight.

“He cannot aspire to victory and every fall in addition to physical pain also hurts the soul, which is the most delicate aspect.”

According to Checa, the problem is obvious: “Honda has not interpreted the new Michelin front tire properly. You need a very solid front, and the one on the RC213V does not give enough support and confidence when braking, generating sudden drops. In addition, Honda’s rear also does not seem at all well calibrated electronically because when grip losses occur the electronics should ‘cut’ the throttle to avoid incurring the high-sides that are the most dangerous crashes for riders.”
