Marini: Things Are Getting Back on Track – We’re Ready for an Exciting Turn in the Motorsport World!
Ahead of the Brno Grand Prix, Honda HRC pilot Luca Marini drew attention by emphasizing that Hungary's successful performance was misleading and that there were still significant deficiencies on the motorcycle itself. Fifth place at the Balaton Park Circuit came particularly after a major crash near the first corner, caused by Jorge Martin’s incident. As a result of this accident, riders such as Marco Bezzecchi, Fabio Di Giannantonio, Raul Fernandez and Fermin Aldeguer were excluded from the race, while Marini capitalized on this situation to collect significant points.
Grip Issues and Increasing Competition in Brno
The Italian pilot emphasized that he was lucky to finish fifth due to the accidents ahead of him, realistically assessing his performance and noting that Hungary’s success had been misleading. He also acknowledged the significant developments seen by rival manufacturers over the past year. Marini recalled that it was their first time competing at Brno and that Honda generally performed well on new circuits. Highlighting the preparations in the garage, he stated that they needed to take some steps to catch up as other brands gathered more data and raised their levels. “I can say we were more challenged this year,” he said.
Before the race, he emphasized the importance of sufficient grip at Brno due to the circuit’s flowing corners and the need to understand how track grip would change with high air temperatures. He still felt the effects of injuries he sustained in Brno last season and expected a stronger performance this time.
Mir's Target for Strong Performance
Meanwhile, Honda factory rider Joan Mir aims to repeat his qualifying performance from last year at Brno. The Spanish driver, who started fifth in the race in 2025 at Brno and did not score points due to incidents, said, “We were very strong throughout the weekend last year. Brno is one of the circuits I enjoy, and starting fifth gave us a lot of morale.” He added that he believed the conditions would be advantageous to him and aimed to maintain his Mugello and Balaton Park performances while gathering as much data as possible.
As the weekend of the Brno race approached, Marini was 11th, Diogo Moreira 16th, and Joan Mir 18th. This shows how exciting the motor sport world will be transformed by the races in Brno.
