Pol Espargaro believes Honda does not need to “build a completely new bike to improve the problems” it has had so far in a difficult 2021 MotoGP season.
Honda’s factory team riders and works-supported runners have yet to finish on the podium at LCR in 2021, with Takaaki Nakagami getting the marque’s best performance so yet of fourth at Jerez.
After the Catalan Grand Prix weekend, Espargaro’s teammate Marc Marquez said that the current Honda’s biggest issue is a lack of grip under acceleration, which hinders braking performance.
