Honda and Marc Marquez They are at the lowest point in their relationship since they were in MotoGP. The Catalan has yet to score any points on Sunday and the bike is so unpredictable and dangerous that he has been forced to miss the last two races due to injury.
That the most successful brand in history and an eight-time world champion are so low in the rankings has made many people think about what is happening in the golden wing team.
Davide Tardozziteam manager of ducaticommented on the matter and pointed out that the possible cause of Honda’s problems is not working with engineers from other countries: “Although I think they will hire people from outside, dealing with a completely different mentality and culture is much more difficult. They would take a long time time to ripen.”
“I don’t know how many people would be willing to get into a system like Honda’swhich is really difficult to understand”, commented the Italian in an interview with ‘GPONE’.
Of course, Tardozzi stressed that Honda has the capacity to move the situation forward and advised a possible solution: “They have economic power, technical capacity and their own wind tunnel. They are a power, but they need someone to direct it. Gigi (Dall’Igna, Ducati’s chief mechanic) arrived with us and a different and winning stage began, but with the 99 people he worked with, they were the same as in the years of the disaster, as in the era of valentino rossi“.
In addition, he ruled out the rumor of a possible exit of the Japanese from MotoGP due to lack of results: “Ducati should have withdrawn, but instead they have recomposed themselves and raised their heads. It is an encouragement. If you have balls, you work and try to get back to the front, if not, you run away. So in my opinion, they won’t retire.”
