Repsol Honda reportedly think that their 2024 prototype bike is competitive enough to have kept 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez - but it arrived too late.

Team members believe that, if they could have del🐻ivered the developed bike at the September test in Misano, Marquez would not have quit,  report.

"We would very likely have retained Marquez and, without a doubt, we would have s🍌tarted to make up𝓡 for lost time,” the report quotes an anonymous member of the team.

The prototype used at the𒅌 postseason test was 8 kilos lighter𝓡, it is reported, a major advancement.

In Misano in 🔴September, Honda bosses in Japan and team manager Alberto Puig “decided to launch the design, construction and tuning of a motorcycle” with the intention of convincin🤪g Marquez.

But Honda staff feel Marquez made his decision to leaꦗve after🍎 being disappointed by the bike given to him at the September test.

His decision became official in October.

By the time Repsol Honda’s 2024 prototype was ready for the postseasonඣ test in Valencia, Marquez had already joined Gresini Ducati.

"Marc had b🤡een asking for two years for ꧙them to make a bike shorter and, above all, to slim it down, to take weight off and they never listened to him,” the report writes.

“And now, in two months, they design and build a new bike that, possibly, after testin♚g it in the Misano test, would have made him doubt and perhaps, now, we would still have the bes🐟t rider in history.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini replaced him and, along with Joan Mir, profited from the Honda whic🦹h is being tipped as a major improvemeꦯnt from last season’s.

The new 2024 Honda🌸 is "totally new: it is lower, it has a new engine, suspensions, aerodynamics... it is completely new," the report cites sources from within Honda.

"Slimming a MotoGP bike down 8 kilos, in two months, is a titanic task, believe m🃏e."

The complete turnaroun☂d of a brand new bike in just two months is seen as proof of Honda’s power, and its potential to return to the front of MotoGP.

A separate soꦰu♈rce who has since left Honda reportedly said: "If you take 8 kilos off a bike in just two months, if you put your mind to it, you're capable of making a winning bike.

"Even if you don't do anything else to the bike, which they have, when you lose eight kilos of a MotoGP bik💯e, the bike runs more, 🌱accelerates more and better, pulls a lot more, brakes less abruptly, lies down a lot more and, above all, it becomes a bike easier to ride, whatever the style is."
