RiderTua.com – In Qatar, Luca Marini made his debut at Repsol Honda sadly. Just 21st in qualifying, finishing last in the sprint and just ahead of Jack Miller (who crashed and remounted) in Sunday’s main race.
According to Marini the best thing he can do right now is keep racing, so of course it’s great to be heading to Portimao. “This track is a very different track to Qatar, so he is curious to see how Honda will go there,” said Maro after the Qatar GP.
Luca Marini: Curious about Honda’s performance at Portimao
Luca Marini explained, “We are in the process of developing the bike, working together with Honda, collecting information on various tracks to make improvements. Our goal is to find a better feeling with the bike to be more competitive.”
According to him, this is only the first race, they have to be realistic and calm. According to him, Joan and Johann raced well. “We need to know that our starting point is really behind, and everyone is trying hard to be at the front to improve their bike every year.”
So they need to work hard to get back to the top, although this is not easy. “This is a process that takes time. So we just need to stay calm and try to take a step forward every time. This race is a lot for me to understand. There are a lot of things, so this is important. It’s better than reaching 16th place and not understanding anything. Because (for both scenarios) the points at the end are zero,” concluded the younger brother of legend Valentino Rossi.
