Honda admit they must “modify” Jerez test plan without Marc Marquez | “A matter of who tests”

Marquez is absent from the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Spanish MotoGP this weekend as he continues to recover from hand surgery but his prolonged spell on the sidelines🍰 will have a lasting impact because Honda hop🙈ed he could test new parts on Monday - the first of just two in-season test days.
They must now redesign their plan with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Rins, Joan Mir, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Takaaki Nakagami and test rider Stefan Bradl at their disposal.
“We have a plan and we will keep to it. The only thing that was not i🍨n 🐲the plan? That Marc would not be here,” Puig said.
“Maybe we will have to modify it a bit.
“We h🍰ave our items 🦩and parts. We have a clear idea of what to test.
“It’s a m🃏atter of who tests. This is something we must discuss during the weeken🔯d.
“Of course, it’s a big loss that we cꩵannot use him here for all the weekend - the race and the test.
“But we will have to do our best. We have other very good riders - this w🔯as proven last weekend.
“We will do the𒆙 test then share the info with the other riders.
“We woul✨d love for Marc to be here for us, but also for him, as a Spanish rider in Jerez it is a special feeling,
“We will do our best and keep going.”

Marquez will not only miss the opportunity to reduce the 57-point deficit to the top of the MotoGP standings as he pursues a seventh premier class title, but he will also♔ miss valuable time d♏eveloping the RC213V to his taste.
This could ꧑open the door to Rins, who won Honda’s first grand prix in two years last time out in Texas, to put his best foot forwards in feeding back to engineers.
Marquez said: “Of course, it was a very impo💯rtant test because the next one is in Misano.
“We won’t have another test this season.
“They have other good riders - Mir, Rins, Stefan Bradl. I can𒊎not help, I cannot ride.”
Puig admitted he hoped Marquez would race this weeꦰkend: “𝓀We thought we could do it. But unfortunately it was not ready.
“It was ♏at the last minute, on Tuesday. We have to follow the indications from the doctors.
“He was told that the hඣealing is going well, but unfortunately it’s not healed yet.
“The docto⛦rs in the hospital in Madrid, the doctors from the Mayo clinic, and the Red “Bull doctors agree that the bone is going well, but is not ready for these activities.
