Important information for Espargaro and Honda HRC in Jerez Sprint
A first taste of the Honda RC213V in true race conditions saw Aleix Espargaro end the Spanish GP Sprint in 18th. Continuing the learning process, the #41 was able to help Honda HRC assess a number of items during Qualifying and the short race. With this information in hand, Espargaro and the Test Team are determined to show something more on Sunday.

“It was good to be back racing! I was hoping to be a bit more competitive, there were some complications in Qualifying and it was my first time really pushing to the limit with a soft tyre on this bike. It’s tough to overtake here and I spent most of the race trying to get ahead of the Yamaha’s – but the bike is good and there is potential there. I was able to see clearly where we need to improve so now myself and the Test Team know even more where to focus on.”
