Honda Motor Called Only 'for' Marc Marquez, Alberto Puig Inflamed

While the Yamaha team itself was only able to win championship from Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, while Ducati won the victory that was donated only from Casey Stoner.

 The criticism was leveled by Cal Crutchlow and Takaaki Nakagami (LCR Honda), and Jorge Lorenzo (Repsol Honda) who considered the RC213V to only follow Marc Marquez's racing style because it was difficult to ride and 'tamed'.

Not only that, even Paolo Ciabatti as the Sproting Director of the Ducati Corse team also gave the same criticism. But all the news was finally ignored by Alberto Puig, saying that Honda was the easiest motorcycle to drive.

"That is only opinion. The proof is that Honda has been able to win 10 titles in the last 18 years from four different riders. Yamaha only won it through two riders and Ducati even just one racer, "said Alberto Puig, quoted from the MotoGP Motorsport news page.

"So actually Honda is the easiest motor to drive because it is able to win the championship through a number of racers, but clearly we do not want to bother with the criticism," he added.

For your information, the title referred to by Puig in his speech was successfully achieved by four different Honda riders since the 2002 MotoGP namely Valentino Rossi, Nicky Hayden, Casey Stoner, and Marc Marquez.

While the Yamaha team itself was only able to win championship from Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, while Ducati won the victory that was donated only from Casey Stoner.

Next season, HRC will be strengthened by newcomer Alex Marquez who is none other than Marc Marquez's younger brother who will also be a tandem for him in MotoGP 2020.
