Honda makes mea culpa. Problems admitted to Lorenzo's RCV

HRC President Nomura assumes responsibility for the 2019 bankruptcy of Lorenzo. Technical problems detected at the RCV: the Majorcan asks for changes.

"We weren't able to give him a good bike." Yoshishige Nomura does not spare strong criticism after a decidedly complicated season for Jorge Lorenzo. Indeed, even too much, so much so that the president of the house of the golden wing has ordered a complete overhaul after the GP in Japan. The conclusion is the discovery and subsequent admission that the Majorca RCV presents technical problems practically from all over the championship.

Thus, Nomura takes full responsibility for a year well below expectations for a pilot of the caliber of the Majorcan. Pass the physical problems that Lorenzo has been facing for over a year, but the HRC boss does not square a gap of 40 ”from his teammate, accused last week in Motegi. "Our goal is to give him a bike that works for him" assured in no uncertain terms.

As MotorluNews.com has pointed out, a situation that is not exactly idyllic in the Repsol Honda box. Lorenzo has already asked for a group change for next season, a solicitation accepted by the HRC management. The Mallorcan is more than determined to ensure that he does not once again experience the problems he had in 2019, which is why he wants a team of people he trusts for next season.

There is talk of problems accused in Austin also by Marc Marquez, bringing him to the strange and never clarified accident in the race. Technical troubles that are still present not only on Lorenzo's bike, but also on Cal Crutchlow's. To see if Honda will be able to correct these problems quickly. Meanwhile, the Australian GP will not be the best either: after free practice it is 16th, +1.8 from the leader Vinales.
