On February 22, the Honda Team Repsol will present its team for the 2023 MotoGP season. The presentation will be held at the Madrilene headquarters of Repsol, sponsor title of the HRC since 1995. The appointment has been given at the Repsol campus. Marc Márquez and Joan Mir, gathered in the Honda factory team, will be present for the first time together. The mission of these two pilots is to relaunch the machine after a disappointing season for the manufacturer.
Great changes are expected on the new version of the RC213V, which won no victory last season. We know that Honda has changed its exhaust provider, but other modifications will be revealed later. Behind behind the scenes, a restructuring is underway, in particular with the recruitment of the former technical director of Suzuki, to improve the organization and catch up by the Japanese brands and the HRC.
Honda will be the fourth manufacturer to unveil its 2023 MotoGP season among the five participants. Yamaha opened the ball in January by revealing his livery but keeping silent on his new M1. Ducati has little shown its new models when the press is discovered. KTM revealed his ambitions last week. Aprilia will be the last to unveil her machine on March 10.
Before the resumption of presentations with REPSOL HONDA, the MotoGP teams will meet in Sepang for a 3 -day Shakedown and a collective test. A second test will take place in Portimão a month later, before the start of the championship.
Honda’s team LCR, a satellite team, announced its own online presentation for March 7. There will also be a new line-up with the arrival of Álex Rins to join Takaaki Nakagami.
