Honda is already hard at work! Usually HRC used to take advantage of the month of January to test at Jerez in preparation for the traditional early February event in Sepang. This time, however, the plans have changed, as the Japanese manufacturer has chosen the Buriram track, which will host the mid-February MotoGP tests and the first race of the season.
In fact, the test team is in action between today and tomorrow with Aleix Espargarò and Takaaki Nakagami with the goal of improving the RC213-V, aiming to close the gap from the competition.
Among the news, there is also the debut of Romano Albesiano as the new technical director for the Japanese manufacturer. Indeed, recall that in November, the engineer did not take part in testing because he was still under contract with Aprilia.
Now that he is officially free, he can finally begin his work.
