Assen [Netherlands], the Repsol Honda Team will return to competition after the brief pause in MotoGP activity. Joan Mir and Luca Marini are eager to continue developing the Honda RC213V.
After an intense start to the 2024 season, a renewed Repsol Honda team arrived in Assen to continue the work of the first seven races. The TT Circuit Assen, the eighth round of the World Championship, presents a unique challenge with the fast and fluid layout of the Dutch track. Having been on the calendar since 1949, a series of infamous moments have unfolded on its 4.5 kilometer route.
Joan Mir returns to competition with the aim of finding his form from the beginning of the year, according to a statement. Able to constantly fight for Honda's top honors, the 2020 MotoGP World Champion has suffered several crashes during the last few rounds that have prevented him from realizing his full potential. Recent updates to the Repsol Honda Team's RC213V have helped to further improve its speed and overall performance. In the past, Mir has achieved a series of points-scoring finals in the Netherlands.
The weekends in Barcelona and Mugello were positive for Luca Marini, who took important steps forward with his team. After three weeks away from the circuit, the goal is to pick up where he and the Repsol Honda Team left off and continue progressing, according to the statement.
The weather seems favorable for the weekend that begins on Friday, June 28 with free practice 1 at 10:45 local time.
"I've had three good weeks to focus on training and work after a busy start to the year. We now face two back-to-back races before another short break and it's important to work well both this weekend in Assen and afterwards." "In Germany, with the second stop we will have the opportunity to work more on the bike and continue working on improvements with the same intensity as always," said Honda rider Joan Mir.
"I'm looking forward to getting back on the Honda and back to the team so we can continue developing. It's been a long break and I'm ready to continue our work because in Mugello we took a good step at the end of the weekend. "I have no doubt that which will be a useful two weeks for everyone in the Repsol Honda team before the real MotoGP summer break. Assen and Sachsenring are two very different tracks, so we will be able to explore a lot of things," said Honda rider Luca Marini.
