Honda and Yamaha used to monopolise the MotoGP title fights. Now they’re mocked as having their very own ‘Japanese Cup’ behind the sector, as even stepping into Q2 looks like a victory given how far they’ve fallen.
All of which should make it powerful to be a rider at a type of manufacturers.
However when Simon Patterson sat down for unique one-on-one interviews with all six Honda and Yamaha riders for The Race MotoGP Podcast, their differing views on their conditions shone via.
We hear Fabio Quartararo’s tackle why he stayed at Yamaha regardless that he typically appears to hate its bike, a brutally open Joan Mir on what he is determined to occur at Honda, and Johann Zarco and Luca Marini explaining what they have out of being a part of struggling Honda this yr after stepping off frontrunning Ducatis.
Plus Alex Rins’s tackle his health battle and Taka Nakagami’s reflections on Honda’s scenario as his full-time racing profession ends.
Simon, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer share their ideas on what the sextet needed to say, and what the long run would possibly maintain for all of them.
And if you wish to hear all six interviews in full and uncut, they’ll be accessible solely to The Race Members’ Membership.
