With the lattest news pointing to the possibility of Marc Marquez test the Desmosedici GP23 at the end of the season, Dani Pedrosa sees this as a great opportunity of the sake of riders, who can «enter» the new season earlier, at the same time he kind of feels strange the fact Honda allows the rider to do so.
The spaniard, who is KTM test rider, believes that Honda allowing Marquez to test at the end of the season his new bike is super good, as he told DAZN: ‘This is very important for the riders when they change teams. We understand that. This is something that happens and the process should continue as normal, so there will be no objections from Honda’.
However, Pedrosa admitts to be surprised by the fact that the japanese manufacturer gave permission for Marquez to ride right away on the tests with his future team, Gresini, given that such permission… is weird, to what he was used to:
– 100% I am struck by the facilities that HRC has given Marc Marquez to test the Ducati at the Valencia 2023 test on 28th of november. It’s very different, for me it’s not familiar, what is happening with what I was used to.
