Luca Marini hints Honda rivals could improve

Marini was not the oౠnly impressive Honda on Wednes♉day in Buriram.

Johann Zarco was seventh, Joan Mir was 11th.

It represents a raꩵy of light for the manufဣacturer with the worst bike in 2024.

Marini joked: “I am always h💮appier when they are slower than me!

“We have to wait, and check the ⛄first race. Many rꦺiders still have something in their pockets.

“We can be positive🌊 and do the b🤪est with the package.”

Marini hinted at what Honda might test on Thursday: “With the tyres we have, it’s not so important to do the full length. The tyres are good and keep their consiඣstency through a whole race with no problems.

ཧ“If you do 20 laps instead of 27, it doesn’t matter, it’s still oka꧙y.

“The important thing is the pace in the firs𝓀t 10 laps. Then, you can put yourself in a position and🎶 keep yourself there by managing the tyres.”

“But we have to understand♏, on a race weekend, the pace of the others.”
