Marquez : The new engine has the potential , far from the best rate

Marc Marquez finished a troublesome 2015 with two falls on the last day of MotoGP testing in Jerez before conceding that, in spite of the fact that Honda's new motor has potential, it is still some way off "the best level".

An issue with hardware brought about the four-time best on the planet to high-side through turn three preceding he tucked the front of his RC213V at the last corner while pushing the bicycle as far as possible late toward the evening.

Having singularly ridden the 2016 Honda motor with upgraded spec hardware on Thursday, Marquez did consecutive keeps running with the new machine and the 2015 motor he used to complete third in the big showdown as the day progressed.

"Today I had two accidents," clarified Marquez. One major high-side, something thusly 3, on Doohan corner, I run in with a few gas, and never happen in MotoGP, yet perhaps we need to see well this new gadgets. I was with gas steady, yet in one minute I lose truly forceful the back wheel, and after that I fly! Be that as it may, fortunate I was well.

"The second one was we did the examination with both motors and everything, and Honda requested us to be on the cutoff to attempt to think about well, and the breaking point on the brake point with the Michelin is risky.

"So we benefited a three days, we got a great deal of data, yet I imagine that right now, this new motor, it has a smidgen more potential contrasted with the old one, yet at the same time we are far I think from the best level. The good thing is that from the first occasion when we get this motor, it would appear that it is functioning admirably, it would seem that it has some potential, however we must be buckling down this winter to be prepared for the first test one year from now."

Asked in which range he felt was the best need for development over the winter break, Marquez answered he was cheerful Michelin could enhance its front tire while Honda tames and supports the quickening of the new motor in front of his next trip in Sepang in February.

"I think Michelin will chip away at the front tire particularly, Honda must work on the mechanical side, to attempt to be smoother, to attempt to pick up on the quickening, and by gadgets, we have this so we need to comprehend it well. However, the gadgets is the thing that on the off chance that you don't ride, you don't see, so we must work on the mechanical side, and the Michelin, beyond any doubt, they will move forward.

"Presently we test the new motor. The thing is that we didn't expect that the gadgets would be similar to this, so a long ways behind. Yet, we officially expected that we would have a greater number of issues than with the Honda programming, in light of the fact that it's more constrained, the new Magneti Marelli gadgets.

"So we must work on the mechanical side. Since at last, this will be the hardware for everyone. So looks like perhaps Ducati have more experience, so hence they are one stage in front. We don't have experience, and we attempt to settle every one of these issues. Thus we must work on the mechanical side to attempt to dodge a few issues, in light of the fact that by hardware, a few issues we have will be troublesome."

Marquez was still ready to post the second quickest MotoGP time with a lap that was only two tenths of a second short of Scott Redding. At the end of Friday he let it be known showed up just as Ducati is as of now "one stage ahead" regarding arrangement for 2016 however was not able clarify why.

"Perhaps the Ducati was working as of now with Magneti Marelli. Possibly Ducati programming, I don't know precisely where, however when you begin like this from everything new, you can be one stage in front, one stage behind, yet at last, the primary target is arrive prepared at the Qatar race.

"So these three days, the movement was great, obviously insufficient, in light of the fact that the hardware take a ton of time. The group made an incredible showing these three days, in light of the fact that they were working here until 1 during the evening, here again at 7 in the morning, so they made an awesome showing. So because of them, however we must continue pushing this winter."
