Luca Marini in Honda, admission: “With Ducati big differences.”

The change of bikes is already being felt.

Luca Marini in Honda has already found some important differences from the Ducati, which he piloted until last season (when he was part of Team VR46). But Valentino Rossi’s brother è only needed the shakedown aboard the new bike to frame the challenge he will have to face in the coming months in HRC.

"The day è was really challenging, but at the same time very important. We needed to understand in which directions we have to go with the new project and the new bike. It seems to me that the potential is good, but the work to be done è quite a lot", explained Marini to the official MotoGP website.

What Marini has already understood è is that from Ducati 2023 to Honda 2024 the transition will not be without pitfalls. "The differences are quite large. Ità will be important in any case to address and solve one problem at a time. In cornering we have room for growth, while in traction we need to improve in grip. Also on the rear we need more stability. The work we are doing on aerodynamics è hard, then we will also have to figure out how to make better use of the tires. In Sepang we will have three days, which from this point of view we want to make the most of", concluded Valentino Rossi’s brother.
