The manager wants to ask the direct opinion of the 29-year-old rider about the Honda RC213V motorcycle. Because, Honda will also make some improvements in the second half of the 2022 MotoGP season.

"We can be sure that given the situation, of course he will appear in the near future and see for himself and understand our efforts to improve the ability of the motorcycle," Puig was quoted as saying by Motosan.

Puig said that he had discussed with Marquez to discuss various things including the physical condition of the six-time MotoGP champion.

"I've spoken to him. He's happy because his right hand continues to improve. He's seen the doctors and is doing what he's supposed to do," he said.

Puig really hopes that Marquez can return to his best performance in order to increase Honda's competition in MotoGP 2022. The reason is that Repsol Honda is currently experiencing a significant decline.
