Honda boss says ‘package not ready’ for Luca Marini, Joan Mir
Honda team manager Alberto Puig says the R💙C213V is not yet ready for Luca Marini and Joan Mir to be ꦬcompetitive heading into the new MotoGP season.

Ma🌞verick Vinales pleased after finding ‘the best aero package for us’
Johann Zarco says test res✱ult “doesn’t reflect our realꦐ potential”
Johann Zarco, who was the quickest Hondaꦯ rider at Lusail, was 17th and♐ over 1.2 seconds down on Francesco Bagnaia’s top time.
19th and 20th came the full factory duo as Marini suffered from a virus on the opening day, before vomiting led to Mir mis✅sing most of day-two.
“Unfortunately our two riders have been ill,” P🉐uig told MotoGP.com. “On Monday Luca [Marini] had a virus in his stomach and today [Tuesday] it was Joan ꦛ[Mir]; he was not on track so much so because of this we could not do so many tests.
“The package is not ready for them. Not because they could not ride today, but we are still looking for the best ♉setting, best compromise for th🎶e grand prix.
“This is the current situation. We know where we improved and where we still need to iಞmprove.
“We’re trying to speed that up as much as possible with the things we need to improve to receive them before thꦦe start of the championship.
“We understand that the bike isꦍ a package. It’s not only aero that we have to work on. We have to fix other areas of the bike.
“You cannot just fix one 💜thing𓄧 with these bikes nowadays. We think we can improve in some other areas.”
Puig also spoke about the 🔴concessions which will help Honda more than most.
However, Honda have not yet put in place a 𝐆concrete plan for when and where their riders will💝 test throughout 2024.
Puig said: “We are trying to understand what are the best options to have a plan. We don’t have a closed plan y♈et.
“The program will be🧜 interesting and helpful for the development of the bike.”
