The second stop on the MotoGP schedule is the Arg♛entinian Grand Prix at Termas de Rio Hondo, somewhere Honda has dominated in the past with Marc Marquez, but where it’s without a podium from a rider other than Marquez since Cal Crutchlow won in 2018.

Seven years have passed since then, and Honda is in a firmly different era by now, with Joan Mir and Luca Marini as the riders hoping to lead the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Honda HRC Castrol team back to the front of MotoGP.

For Mir, this weekend’s Argentinian race is a chance to turn the potential he showed in Thailand into an on-paper result after he crashed out of the first Grand Prix of the s🍸eason for only the second time in his premier class career at Buriram.

The space he showed at the opening round leaves him optimistic for Argentina, even saying that he thinks he and Honda “can be competitive from the startও”.

“I am looking forward to this race after what we showed last time out in Th🦋ailand,” he said.

“We are capable of a lot and it’s important 𒁏to get some points on the board and deliver.

“Argentina will be a different weekend to Thailand because we arrive without testing the𒁏re but we nor💎mally have a very strong base, I think that we can be competitive from the start.

“In the pa🌼st I have had some good results in Argentina, so I think the pieces are there to have a solid weekend and keep our season pro൩gressing.”

After the race was cancelled in 2024, the 2025 Argentinian Grand Prix will be the first time 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Luca Marini will visit Termas de Rio Hondo as a Honda rider, and t💞herefore with the RC213V.

This isn’t sജomeওthing he expects to be an issue, however.

“In Thailand we ✱were able to accomplish a very good weekend overalꦫl, so now flying to Argentina I am optimistic we can continue in this way,” said Marini.

“I don’t think arriving there ‘for the first [time]’ on the Honda will be a problem – the team and I did a 𒈔lot of work over the off-season to get the base of the bike into a good position so I know that we can start correctly.”

Argentina is also a place that holds positive memories for Marini, having been on the podium for the first time in MotoGP in the 2023 Sprint; and the Italian will stay🍷 for another day in South America for the launch event for the Brazilian Grand Prix in Goiania on Monday.

“In 2023 I achieved my first Sprint podium in Argentina, and I hope that we ꦅcan have a positi💧ve weekend with the Honda HRC Castrol team,” he said.

🍌“After Argentina, I will go to Brazil for the first time to try the new track we will race at next year – an exciting trip!”
