Marc Marquez tells Honda to “swallow your pride” as new tech boss is hired
"Hiring an engineer who can make you skip🍌 steps is cheap for aꦑ factory"

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has discussed his former team Honda’s revised strategy𝔉 in hiring a new technical director.
Romano Albesiano - who helped transform Aprilia from MotoGP’s🧔 slowest bike into a grand prix - will join Honda in 2025 to oversee their techn🦹ical department.
It is the la💟test big step taken by the struggling Japanese manufacturer to restore their lost competitiveness.
And it a notable ꦺchange of philosophy to hire a Euไropean into a crucial, senior job.
"I didn't know,” Marquez, who walked out on Honda last year due to frust💃rations with the project, told on Friday at the Japanese 🐓MotoGP.
“Fಌor me, Honda has the largest infrastructure, the🐽 largest budget in the paddock.
“The issue is that, in the end, those who decide are people, they ಞare humans, three or four people who are in charge of the project.
“I've a꧅lway꧅s said it: hiring an engineer who can make you skip steps is cheap for a factory.
“And I think that's one more step in the technical point that Honda is at right now: trying to cut the times to get back to the high🐼est level, which they are going to achieve.
“But if you can cut the times by hir😼ing engineers from other factories who give you immediate solutions, without having to investigate, th𝓰at is cheap for a factory.
“I have always had that concept, no matter how much they ask you for another tec💜hnician, no matter how much the engineer asks you for more, it is cheap, because it is much more expensive to try parts.
“In the end, you find one, yes. But for me it is a success [to hire a new technical director]. I don't know what the engineer is like, but it is a success if they are going in that direc🍌tion."
Marquez continued: "The issue is that🧜 pride in competition is bad. In competition, there is ꦗa moment when you will win, when you will lose.
“When you lose, you have t𝔉o swallow your pride and know how to understand that others 💎are doing better.
“There are people who get it bef🎃ore; There are people who understand it later, but, for me, it's not a lack of pride, it's intelligence.
“If you see that other factories are doing that, in the case of Yamaha, for example, and they ar🔯e cutting times before you, do the same.”
Marquez ౠhas retained a dignified relationship with his ex-team since joining Gresini Ducati this year.
When he won his first grand pr🎃ix on a Ducati, he🌸 visited his former Honda colleagues to share the celebrations with them.
Honda’s announcement that they have recruited Apജrilia’s Albesiaꦦno for next year is an intriguing move.
Aleix Espargaro will also swap Aprilia racing duties for a Ho🐓nda test ro🍌le, meaning he will work with Albesiano again.
