JAKARTA - The racer Marc Marquez has been confirmed to be absent for a long period of time due to injury. The absence of the rider turned out to have an impact on Honda's preparation for the 2022 MotoGP.
Quoted from the official MotoGP website, Honda admitted that it was quite difficult to formulate the right settings for their motorbikes. Without Marquez on the track, preparing the right composition for the bike next season is hard.
Honda boss, Alberto Puig even said their current bike is far from ready to go down in MotoGP next season.
"The situation is complicated because we are not with our riders. Marc is not here, we found something was missing," said Puig.
"This (Marquez's absence) is not easy to answer, because sometimes we don't know. After you do the test, the engineers have to gather all the info and of course decide the direction or what to do (for the best performance of the riders)."
Even though Marquez's absence had an impact on the preparations, Puig explained that the motorcycle development process did not encounter many obstacles.
"When the bike is tested by different riders and each one tells you different things, it's very complicated, but fortunately the opinions of our riders are very similar and this is very important."
Marquez is certain to be out for a long time due to injury. In the process of healing, it was discovered that he had diplopia.
