Camier, who is yet to see Team HR൲C claim a WorldSBK victory since becoming the Team Manager in 2021, believes improvements made during pre-season should bring them closer to the top three manufacturers.

However, a gap in performance clearly remains between the ‘second group’ that Lecuona referred to it as, and last season’s top three riders - now a quartet after 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michael Ruben Rinaldi has seemingly j🐽oined the fight at the front. 

• Lecuona fears Honda remain in ‘second group’ h🧜eading into new WorldSBK season 
• No minimum rider💖/bike weight rule confirmed💝 for 2023 WorldSBK season 

A deficit of over one second separated Lecuona from 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Toprak Razgatlioglu at the two day Jerez test, while 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alvaro Bautista held a seven tenth advantage ove💦r Lecuona i𒊎n Portimao.

For that reason Camier is not jumping the gun regarding what is possible for the Japanese manufacturer, despite super𝓡 concessions being a♓t their disposal. 

"I think the super concession that we got is to give us more adjustment; I think it’ll help us overall but I don’t think it’ll be the main difference that we need that all of a sudden, we’ll be fighting for race wins," said the e💦x-Superb𒈔ike rider. 

"There’re so many factors that have to be perfect for you to be at that point. We are still young in this championship, so we nee🐭d a little bit more time to get the package exactly correct for f🍬ighting for a title. 

"I think in the right time and right pꦉlace, we can fight for podiums and our goal is to 💟make another step this year and keep improving the bike that we have. We want to see a step."

Wi♏th that said, Honda have been making steady improvements since returning to the series as a full factory outf🔴it in 2020.

Their consistent progression should have seen them finish ahead of BMW last season, however, an injury to Lecuona saw him miss t🤡he final six races, thus handing the advantage back to BMW ride⭕rs.

Should Honda continue their upward trajectory, 🌊then fighting for podiums based on pure pace could begin to take place, whether that’s at the start of the season or by the end of it. 

Discussing which areas have been improved the most, Camier said: "There🌼’re lots of small things we’ve improved since last year, such as having torque in the right places with the engine and a bit more on acceleration. 

"We’ve made a small step with electroniꦺcs which should help us over race distance, which is so💟mething that if you have good enough hearing, you’ll understand what it is on the side of the track! 

"There’re several items, such as swingarms as we’ve discussed before and we’ll have some other upgrades on that t𝔉his yeꩵar. 

"Let’s see if we can bridge the gap and arrive to the lead group and also see if the parts that have come from Japan will allow us to do that earli♔er in the year. When we arrive to Europe, we’ll start to understand our position."
