Luca Marini makes no secret about landing at Honda
Luca Marini confirms he is getting closer to HRC
Only the officialdom is missing, but by now even the person concerned has è publicly exposed himself: Luca Marini è always more è close to an agreement with Honda to become one of the standard bearers of the HRC team, a team well known also to his brother Valentino Rossi, who between 2000 and 2003, with the Japanese manufacturer, won three World Championships in the queen class (2001 500 class, 2002 and 2003 MotoGp).
"I think the news will soon become official,” Marini said at the press conference presenting what will most likely be his last race on the Desmosedici of the VR46 team. At the moment I cannot say much, but in the next few days you will find out everything. My dream è always been to be part of a 'Factory team', to develop the bike and take it to victory".
"I think this is the right time,” continued the 1997-class centaur. The opportunity è opened up after the choice of Marc Marquez, which è was a bit of a surprise for everyone. For me è a good chance, I will try to do my best. For now, however, I can not say more".
What Luca Marini is about to conclude è his third year in MotoGp: his best result è the second place in the Gp of the Americas, which by a curious coincidence è also the'only one won by a Honda this year, specifically by Alex Rins.
