Those who will try to get rid of a dead man are those of Honda. In a season that is being more suffered than the account for Dani pedrosa (after its renewal with Honda) and Marc Márquez (who achieved his first victory at Mugello), HRC drivers will have to make the most of the races that remain on the calendar.

After some tracks that have not particularly favored the performance of the Honda, two tests are approaching that may be better for the bikes with the golden wing. Mugello and Montmeló can be a more favorable scenario where the problems Honda is having this year with sealed engines and lack of grip are somewhat mitigated.
