Solid Test for Nakagami and the LCR in Sepang

Three days of hard work have concluded at the Sepang International Circuit for Nakagami and the team, who are fully committed to turning the 2024 season into a great one. The rider and the crew have been able to compare different setups and new parts provided by HRC to decide which path to follow. After 106 laps, the feedback is that there is room for improvement, but this year's upgrades are strong, and Takaaki and the technicians are pleased with the job done throughout the three days.

Three days of intense work have concluded at the Sepang International Circuit for Frenchman Zarco and his new team, the Castrol Honda LCR. After 138 laps and much-gathered information, the rider and the crew have been able to compare different setups and new parts provided by HRC to make the most of the 2024 season. There is room for improvement, but this year’s upgrades are solid, and Johann and the technicians are pleased with the job done throughout the three days. 
 
To keep trying and analyzing different options, the MotoGP grid will be in Qatar in eight days to undergo the second of the official tests ahead of the first race in 2024 (Qatar, 10 March).

I like the 2024 evolutions brought by HRC to the test. We've compared the data with the other Honda riders to set a base, and I've felt quite good. We still need to work in some areas, but we've already found some positives.

I like the way Honda has set the 2024 plans. The four riders are comparing and sharing data, and this is important to improve the bike and be ready to fight for the best positions. We’ve had some positives during the test and need to keep working in other areas, but overall, I’m satisfied with the job done.
