Livio Suppo takes a swipe at Honda
During an interview given to the microphones of "Crash.net, former Honda team manager Livio Suppo, among other topics, bluntly analyzed the process of involution at the performance level by the Japanese team over the past few seasons. In addition, the 1964-year-old also highlighted the main mistakes made by the HRC team over the past few years.
"In interviews Cal Crutchlow certainly did not reserve honeyed words for the bike, and then Pedrosa, too, not in public, but in technical meetings, began to warn engineers that Honda was becoming more and more difficult to ride. The talented Marc Marquez was able to overcome all these difficulties, and at that moment HRC made the mistake of not listening to the indications given by Cal and Dani" began the former Honda team manager.
"The results of the other Honda riders didn't matter, the focus was all on Marquez's successes, by the time they realized the ugly turn this had taken in conjunction with Marc's injury in 2020 it was too late. I was surprised that HRC did not find a compromise to retain Pedrosa as a test rider. Daniè s sensibility è proverbial and KTM results are testimony to that. It è not a coincidence that as soon as they retired both he and Cal were put under contract by competing houses" commented Livio Suppo.
