168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Luca Marini is desperate to overturn a difficult start to his Honda career at the sceꦡne of his best-ever result♒.

The MotoGP of the Americas 🍸this weekend allows Marini a chance to tap into great memories of a𒁏 year ago.

Then riding a VR46 Ducati, Marini finished second at the Circuit of the Americas to register his top result in th🥀ree seasons in the premier class.

He has since switched to Repsol Hon🍃da as Marc Marquez’s replacemeไnt.

After two rounds of the 2024 season, he is one of three riders 𝄹yet to score a single point.

But encouragingly, Honda head to COTA knowing they won last year’s graꦉnd prix amid a dreadful year. Alex Rins of LCR Honda finished ahead of Marini.

“Austin holds a special place inꦬ my heart and I have good memories from last year,” Marini said.

“We arrive in a different situation this year but I am still p𝓀ositive that we can make more progress in America.

“It’s a very particular ci💖rcuit in Texas and you’ve seen that Honda has had something there in th♎e past.

“No matter the track, our focus and intention stಞays the same as we keep building this project.”

Marini has finished a drab 20th and 17th ꦡin the two grands prix to kickstart his career as a fac🌳tory rider so is hoping for improved fortunes in Texas.

Joan Mir, his tea🍎mmate, has fared margin🦂ally better with seven points overall.

He has finished 13th and 12th in the first t𒐪wo Sunday races.

Unlike Marini, his memory of last year at COTA is not encourag🔯ing.

The race in America was among nine grand♏s prix that Mir started but failed to finish in a woeful debut campaign with Honda.

He said: “🦩Going to America is always nice, we only get to see the 🤡fans there once a year so it's important to put on a good show.

“We go to a third very different track i♎n three races so we need to look and understand how the Honda is going there.

“COTA is one of the most unique layouts on t💫he🌄 calendar and especially the first sector on track is very specific.

“Quite a lot of the track has been resurfaced since we were last here so I am lo💙oking forward to seeing how those꧂ changes impact the track.”
