Luca Marini scored his first MotoGP podium at COTA two years ago, aboard a VR46 Ducati. This week he's back there in a different situation, working to get Honda back to the front of the pack. So how does the Italian ride a MotoGP bike and help Honda redevelop its RC213V?
Luca Marini's 2024 season was very different to his 2023. He replaced Marc Márquez in the factory Honda squad, when the world's biggest motorcycle manufacturer was at its lowest ebb, going without a single podium finish for the first time since its fabulous but ill-fated oval-piston NR500 of the early 1980s.
Thus Marini's job changed, from chasing podiums to helping redevelop the RC213V, trying to transform it from an old-school MotoGP bike into a kind of Formula 1 car on two wheels, like Ducati's Desmosedici.
