Re: Honda struggles in first MotoGP test
Casey Stoner's best lap was faster than Marc Marquez... the old timer ain't too shabby!

Honda getting their excuses in early?
I wonder how long Marquez will put up with Honda's attitude of its the bike that counts first and foremost?

They took half a season last year before they admitted the bike wasn't working.

Re: Honda struggles in first MotoGP test
I don't get why Honda are only focussing on the engine... the problem isn't the engine it's the way the bike behaves!

Re: Honda struggles in first MotoGP test
Are the Ducatis still under special conditions, or did that end? I assume it did.
Honda to have a tantrum because they're not fastest and threaten to quit in... 3... 2...

Re: Honda struggles in first MotoGP test
On the official timesheet there was only "concessions" and "no concession".. ducati fell under the latter so I assume they are following the same rules as Yamaha and Honda. That explains why they were testing for Fuel Economy!dogbot wrote:Are the Ducatis still under special conditions, or did that end? I assume it did.

Re: Honda struggles in first MotoGP test
They had varying levels of concessions last year but that changed this year I'm assuming - I haven't actually read anything about it I'm purely assuming haha.
