2. title”>Marc Marquez‘s Greaves‌ Ducati Sepang Test report

Takaaki Nakagami and his LCR‌ Honda team were actively testing a new 850cc⁣ engine during the ⁢recent Sepang test, marking a significant step in Honda’s advancement program.This initiative aims to ⁢provide valuable data for future MotoGP machinery, potentially influencing the next generation of ⁢bikes. The engine test represents Honda’s commitment to exploring option engine configurations and improving⁤ performance.

Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know ‌about⁤ this development:

* ‌ Engine‍ Configuration: The 850cc engine differs from the current 1000cc ⁤MotoGP standard.
* Data Collection: The primary⁤ goal is to gather data⁣ on performance characteristics, handling, and rider feedback.
* ⁤ Future Implications: Findings from this test will inform Honda’s engine development strategy for upcoming⁤ seasons.

Meanwhile, discussions surrounding the⁢ MotoGP calendar are intensifying, with Carlos Ezpeleta, a key figure in the series’ organization, highlighting ‍the challenges of accommodating all ‌circuits vying for a hosting slot. He emphasized that the current schedule is already quite full, making it arduous to add new ⁢locations.

Here’s what’s driving the⁢ calendar ⁤debate:

* High demand: Numerous circuits are expressing interest in hosting MotoGP races.
* Limited Space: The existing calendar⁣ is nearing its capacity, restricting the addition of new events.
* ‌ Strategic Considerations: Decisions ⁢about the ⁤calendar⁢ involve balancing commercial interests, logistical feasibility, and sporting considerations.

I’ve found that maintaining ⁢a⁢ balanced calendar is crucial for‌ the‍ health of ‌the ⁢sport, ensuring a mix of customary and new venues. Liberty Media, the new owner of MotoGP, appears pleased ⁤with the current state of affairs. They are focused on optimizing the ⁤existing schedule rather than ‍aggressively expanding it.
