MotoGP Test Brno: Marc Marquez “We tried to understand why the bike tends to wheelie when exiting corners”

Marc Marquez MotoGP 2016 Test Brno Honda Repsol – Marc Marquez he closed the day of testing with the 3rd time, but 7 tenths behind Jorge Lorenzo's best lap. The Majorcan, who completed 46 laps today, said he was very satisfied with this test, where he and his team worked on how to avoid the bike from rearing up when exiting corners, which is one of Honda's main problems this year. The Spaniard also tried the new Michelins and also tested a new swingarm, stating that it is ok but that for now he will continue to use the current one and perhaps he will be able to use it in the races at the end of the year.

“The track was dirty at the beginning of the day – said Marc Marquez – then when everyone got on the track it was cleaned up. Today we tried a lot of things, including new front tyres. We tried to understand why the bike tends to wheelie when exiting corners and at the end of the day we collected a lot of positive and negative information, as always happens during tests. We found several interesting things about the set up that will allow us to reduce the bike's wheelie, improving acceleration. We also tried a new swingarm which may be useful for us in the next races, but for now we'll continue with the old one. However it was a positive test, now I can't wait to get back on track at Silverstone"
