Reign🐽ing MotoGP champion Marc Marquez may have been cagey about naming the exact cause of Honda's turning difficulties in pre-season testing.

But new team-mate and yo🦄unger brother Alex has confirmed it was indeed the aerodynamics.

Marc eventually made a 'great step' on the very final day of pre-season testing in Qatar, when he was seen try🌱ing last year's fairing.

"I had a strange🙈 crash in Malaysia, a strange crash here [in Qatar] and I didn't understand anything. But today we understand everything," Marc had said.♏ "Once more it's the last day in Qatar that we find the way!"

Speaking to , Alex confirmed: "We did good tests in both Valencia aღnd Jerez [last year], while i🗹n Malaysia there was something wrong with the aerodynamics. A feeling confirmed in Qatar, where Marc found the solution on the last day.

"That test wasn't easy, I can't wait tꦅo come back soon and feel go🔥od with Honda."

Exactly when Alex will get to make his MotoGP race debut depend🍨s on how soon the coronavirus restrictions are eased.

"The calendar at the moment I think is not realistic," said the reigning Mo🦩to2 champion. "It will certainly be a very 🤡different season than usual. If we start in August, we will be able to do 10-15 races.

"They will certainly be races without fans, and this will be strange, but the important thing is that p💟eople stay at home for now. For us riders it is essential to stay 100% physically fit, becaꦇuse we don't know when we will start.

"It is not easy for a rookie to stay still for aꦦ long time, but we must remain calm and competitive. 💦This situation is the same for everyone."
