Fourth time trial at the conclusion of the Jerez tests for Pol Espargarò, best Honda rider today behind Francesco Bagnaia, Fabio Quartararo and Alex Rins to complete a top-5 with Maverick Vinales with five different manufacturers represented (Ducati, Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda and Aprilia). The world champion of the Moto2 class in 2013 stopped the clock at 1’37 ″ 496, just over a tenth slower than Takaaki Nakagami’s time trial set yesterday, which remains the best of a Honda rider in these two days of testing. .
These are the impressions of Pol Espargarò on the new Honda 2022, which immediately gave one of the most important sensations that were sought in the new prototype, that is to be an ‘easier’ and less treacherous bike than the latest sisters who forced the crash on many occasions. the Marquez brothers, Pol Espargarò, Takaaki Nakagami and in the past Cal Crutchlow. “This day was worth a lot to us – the words of the Catalan – and that’s the one I gritted my teeth for. We have three fundamental months ahead and we had to give as much information as possible to the engineers in Japan during the winter break. We will still have to do a lot of laps in the next February sessions to continue working on all the material made available by Honda, but in the meantime we have started to take the first steps. Being fast even in today’s wind is positive. We are looking for more rear grip and the 2022 prototype has made it available. The bike is faster and ‘safer’, less treacherous, lap time comes out more easily compared to the 2021 model ″.
