MotoGP, timetables and where to see the Misano 2022 tests on TV
A first look towards 2023. Apparently a small starter of the bikes that we will see on the track next year, actually an important first step on the road to technical development which could prove to be fundamental. Misano from 6 to 7 September will host a double day of testing, in view of the next season. No revolution for now, but amid whispers and indiscretions it is clear that 2023 begins here because the houses must quickly trace the path to follow. The championship is changing, more races and fewer tests during the season, making the wrong approach risks compromising the next steps.
The themes of the tests: Marquez ready to return
Today’s MotoGP, more competitive than in the past, leaves no room for errors and uncertainties, we need to proceed with safety. Take Honda And Yamaha, the first has the wrong project, the second has sinned in prudence, defeat at the start in terms of speed. Without the talent of Quartararo, the M1 would not be at the top of the world championship. Deprived of Marc Marquez the RC213V floats with difficulty in the rear of the championship. Yamaha seeks power to beat on equal terms with Ducati a Aprilia. But the Noale house, which has so far exploited the rules valid for the “debs”, will have to compete with the rules of the greats. Honda must find the lost technical balance, perhaps reorganize its work, fix the technical department (a new manager will arrive) and re-tie the threads of internal relations that Marquez added among the problems to be solved Because reactivity, today more than ever, has become decisive. The Spanish, by the way, he will be back on his Honda on the occasion of these tests, after the long stop for the fourth operation on the humerus of the right arm. There Ducati he will have to take care not to lose supremacy; is the new technical reference of the grid, but in Borgo Panigale they know well that sleeping on our laurels is dangerous. The challenge has already been launched, with these tests the foundations are laid for a construction that must grow quickly and well.
