Honda meets Rossi: “unacceptable accusations”. But the evidence nailed Marquez – The Republic

VALENCIA – a thing in the history of MotoGP had never seen: a chief executive of the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world that replicates the statements of a pilot. Yet that’s exactly what happened: the vice president of operations of Honda, Shuhei Nakamoto, absolute boss, responded to Valentino Rossi who was “surprised” the position of the Japanese team that would have “supported the strategy of its pilots,” Marquez and Pedrosa, to let win the Yamaha of Jorge Lorenzo.
“This is not the environment that we wanted to live in the end of a memorable season,” said Nakamoto, “we understand that it was a very tough day for Valentino. Driving a world for 17 games and losing just 5 points for the last test must be very disappointing. But we can not accept the allegations that he addressed to Marc (Marquez) and Honda in the past and weekdays at the press conference after the race. “

Nakamoto said that as far as the charges for the race at Phillip Island “there is no evidence to support it just the fact that Marc has taken five points to rival Valentino, Jorge.” And also the last race of the season, the number two of Honfda recalled that Marquez “had a very good pace throughout the weekend and showed it by making the fastest time in the trials.” “Marc and Dani gave, as always, the 100 by 100, to get the best result for the Repsol Honda and all our members,” he assured.

Yet the evidence against the behavior of Marquez are overwhelming and Nakamoto knows this: throughout the race Marc demanded from his box that communicated with the position of Valentino at each step (but there had to do with that because if he theoretically would only make his race?). This we have seen them all.

As we have all seen that Marquez has never attempted an attack: in his career has never behaved like that. Even when he had hopes he always tried to overtake, but then having to cede the position. Not only when it overtook Pedrosa (and with that speed would be certainly to take Lorenzo), then Marc has pulled out all his class and with a maneuver lasts overtook Pedrosa again putting it behind. But why Honda has taken this position indefensible?

They are the hypocrisies of racing: o do so (denying the evidence) or hunt your pilot. One thing is certain though: after these statements Nakamoto has given a better groomed to Marquez. Okay, all right Spain, friendships and what you want. But to win on purpose a Yamaha …
