Marc Marquez, Puig explodes: “We’re in the m…”

It is the most complicated moment at Honda, which raced in Holland on Sunday without three of its four starting riders, Marc Marquez, Alex Rins and Joan Mir, all out with physical problems. HRC even finds itself last in the ranking reserved for teams, and there is no light on the horizon.

At the microphones of As, team manager Alberto Puig does not hide behind a finger: “Now we talk about mistakes because we are in the m…, but we also did good things. Looking back in 2020 Marquez got injured and then the pandemic was also a not inconsiderable obstacle for our engineers because they could not move quickly between Europe and Japan. They had to stay in Europe without being able to develop the bike in Japan and without exchanging too much information. In racing, the differences are small, and in a moment you lose two tenths, then four, and then you’re done.”

It is likely that Honda could benefit us concessions from Dorna: “What I can say for sure is that Honda has to make a bike that works best, not wait for the championship to help it make it work.”
