Luca Marini misses out on much-needed point due to post-race tyre pressure penalty
Luca Marini is 23🔥rd in MotoGP standings but believes Honda have 'improved'

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Luca Marini missed out on scoring a point at the Britꦓish MotoGP 💖due to a post-race tyre pressure penalty.
The Repsol Honda rider crossed the line in 15th, enough to claim o🉐nly his second po🉐int of the season.
But he was dem🌼oted to 17th - and pointless - for failing to meet the minimum tyre pressure 💟regulations.
Teammate Joan Mir d♊id not finish at Silverstone, while LCR Honda’🅷s Johann Zarco finished 14th and Takaaki Nakagami was 15th.
Marini, before hi🎶s penalty, told media incl🐎uding wuqian0821.com about the issues faced by his Honda: “The problem is the first laps.
𝓰“In the first lap we had a gap, more or less half-a-second per lap from a good group.
“In the first lap, we take seconds. W🦩e need to understand how we make the rear tyre work at the beginning of the racℱe.
“At t𓄧he beginning, I was alone with nobody in front.
“It was strange because, in this race, I struggled a lot with vibrations. “In this long race, it🧸 was much worse than yesterday.
“I needed to slow down because I almost crashed at every corner. A lot of vibrations - we ne🥃ed to investigate this problem.
“This can sometimes h👍appen with our bike, it ha🍰ppened to other Honda riders.
“We have to understand how to avoid it.”
However, Marini believes Honda are fiꩵnding solutions to their long-lasting problems.
“Now, in qualifying, we are able to make a good lap with a soft tyre,” he said. “With a ha🙈rd compound, we struggle.
“I would’ve liked to race with a hard front and a soft rear🌼. But seeing everyone… medium, medium… I wanted to fol🅷low everyone so can follow the data. For the manufacturer it is better to have feedback.”
The spec of the engine used by Marini💃 differs to other Honda riders.
“Mir, we have the same. Zarco, we have🅺 different ones,” he explained.
“Zarco’s engine is more powerful, more horsepower, more speed on the straight. But it’s difficult to rideꦉ and I don’t like it.
ꦰ“For me, for the development of the bike in the future, it is noඣt the right way.
“With my engine now, we alwa🌄ys lose two tenths in the straights,ꦓ but it’s the way for the future. It’s how we’ll find more performance.”
Marini has only one point in the entire season, after 10 roun𓄧ds. He is rooted to the bottom of the standings, in 23rd, behind even Dani Pedrosa who took part in jওust one round as a wildcard.
But, Marini has found positives.
“We have improved so much. Maybe the results are the same,” ﷽he said🔯.
“But it’s a big step riding the bike. Th🔜e feeling improved.
“The problem is that everyone has made a step. Everyone is pushing 𒈔a lot.”
