The Japanese manufacturers are suffering a woeful camp🤡aign - even worse than their bleak 2022 - and there is little reason to believe ⛎things could get better.

At the most recent MotoGP at Assen, ꦰthree out of four Honda riders were sidelined through injury, most notably Marc Marquez whose season has been spoiled by crashes.

"After the break we will surely take steps forward,” team m🙈anager Puig was quoted by .&nb☂sp;

“But we must be aware that we will not have a ꦯfantastic bike. 

“Things are not going as we would like and there will be n✨o radical changes.

"It is difficult to take the bike to the level that is required of us, and the riders are not bꩲringing the expected results. 

“We are trying t🐲o make improvements, but the reality is that we are not where we ✃need to be.

“We need to dig ev༺en deeper to find out what 🌞the problems are and what the solutions are.”

Joan Mir and Alex Rins, recruited from Suzuki this season, are both being linked with moves🍸 away from H🍒onda already.

LCR Honda’s Rins offered a brief ray of light by winning the Gran൩d Prix of the Americas, the first Honda rider aside from Marquez t🍰o win a MotoGP race since 2018.

The troubles of Marquez, theﷺ six-time premier class champion and their star rider, underlines Honda’s issues.

"Marc is not at his best and he suffered a lot of crashes in Germanyಞ,ꦡ” Puig said. 

“There is no rider on the planet who is happy if he crashes and he understands that the bike doesn't have the perform🎐ance he needs.

"He's a world champion and he always wants to pusꦺh harder, he never gives up. 

“The situation has become a bit more seri🦹ous, but Marc has to take it easy. We know he's not happy and we respect him.

"After his crash in Mugello he was very affected. He has ar🐠rived new this season and he 🍒is not understanding the bike.

"It's not a questi🌌on of ability, but ✅also because the bike isn't ready. 

“Marc is having a lot of problems, but we'll see how he is when he returns after the summer 🗹br🔯eak.”

MotoGP resumes at Silverstone on August 6.

Honda know th♈at the future of Marquez, who is contracted until the end of 2024, might be at stake.
