MotoGP race winner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaroꦓ made an immediate impact at Honda’s test team by outpacing the factory race ridersꩲ on his RC213V debut at last November’s Barcelona test.

The former Aprilia rider the to𝄹ok part in several private tests before his speed was publicly reconfirmed by being just 0.3s slower than Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) during the Sepang shakedown.

But Espargaro isn’t the only race rider turned HRC tester in 2025 with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Takaaki Nakagami stepping down from LCR to join Espargaro and Stefan Bradl in develop🐠ing the RCV.

“This yearꦆ for sure I hope that the organisation with the test team will be better,” said Honda Castrol rider Luca Marini𒐪.

“That doesn't depend so much on th🤪e riders, but for sure Aleix and Taka will do a great job and Taka speaking Ja🌃panese [means he] can be very precise and explain very well the situation.

“But ♛also the organisatio🐼n around [the test team] must be super precise because it’s easy, even if you have two very good and fast riders, to lose the way.”

One of Nakagami’s priorities is to improve communication between the Eur♏opean race team and HRC engineers in Japa🗹n.

"Yeah, I think Taka will be the key of the te🌳st team,” said Marini.ꩲ “Because with many Japanese engineers, it’s not so easy speaking in English, because the languages are super different.

“So with Taka working on this sꦍide, we can make the diffe🌞rence, I hope.”

Already making a🐎 difference is new HRC technical director Romano Albesiano, who has arrived with Espargaro and crew chief Antonio Jimenez from Aprilia.

“I think he's already made good things,” said Marini. “Not properly on designing something for the bike [yet] or inventing something, but on the organisa🦋tion side.

“And he was smart this winter to do two things 🐷that were𒁏 helpful for arriving here with the best package possible.”

The Italian declined to say what those two things were, but Honda finished the Buriram test with Marini’s team-mate Joan Mir in an impressi🏅ve sixth place, having also delivered a fast Sprint simulation.

Marini was ෴14th for best lap, within one second of Marc Marquez (Ducati), but felt the amount of rubber on track by the end of testiℱng masked some Honda issues such as rear grip.

“Overall, the pre-season was positive,” he said. “We understand very well which is the pa♏ckage that we need to use in the first races and we can be quite sa🍌tisfied because we made a step forward compared to our performance here last year.

“But it's a little bit too early to say it loud because we have to check in normal GP [conditions] which is our posit🎀ion. “

The season-opening Thai Grand Prix takes pl🦹ace next weekend.
