This week, Honda is testing at Mugello for MotoGP in a private session that will also include Yamaha. The Japanese manufacturers are looking to make the most of the concessions to develop their bikes, which are currently the least competitive in the field.
For Honda, this test is particularly important. The golden wing manufacturer is clearly the weakest link in MotoGP at the moment, as was evident again at the French GP, where the best Honda rider was Johann Zarco (LCR Honda) in 12th place.
Luca Marini will take part in the Mugello test. After the Le Mans round, the rider expressed his excitement and encouragement about what will be tested at the Italian circuit.
– It’s a good compromise, many parts. We have good expectations about that test. For sure we will not change the «DNA», but for me it can be a very good improvement, and especially following that direction we can make other steps for the end of the season.
