The Japanese manufacturers are suffering a woeful campaign - eve🎉n worse than their bleak 2022 - and there is little reas⛄on to believe things could get better.

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

"After the break w�𒉰�e will surely take steps forward,” team manager Puig was quoted by . 

“Bꦐut we must be aware that we will not have a fantastic bike. 

“Things are not going as we would like and there will be no radical change꧋s🌱.

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

“We are trying to make improvements, but the reality iಌs that we are not where we need to be.

“We need to dig even deeper to findܫ out what the problems are and what the solutions are.”

Joan Mir and Alex Rins, re☂cruited from Suzuki this season, are both being linked with moves away from Honda already.

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

The troubles of M♒arquez, the six-time premier class champion a🎐nd their star rider, underlines Honda’s issues.

"Marc is not at his best and he suffered a lot of🐼 crashes in Ger𝄹many,” Puig said. 

“There is no rider on the planet who is happy ꦡif he crashes and he understands that the bike doesn't have 💦the performance he needs.

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

“The situation has become a bit 🌜more serious, but Marc has to take it ꦏeasy. We know he's not happy and we respect him.

"After his crash in Mugello he was very affected. He has arrived new thi💛s season and he is not understanding the bike.

"It's not a question of ability, but 🐼a🐷lso because the bike isn't ready. 

“Marc is having a lot♈ of problems, but we'll see how he is w🅰hen he returns after the summer break.”

MotoGP resumes at Silverstone on August 6.

Ho🐻nda know that the future of Marquez, who is contracted until the end of 2024, might𒀰 be at stake.
