What\u2019s the balance between suggesting ideas and listening to feedback?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Ram\u00f3n: &#8220;Sometimes they listen to us, but I don\u2019t know how much they catch from our advice. Normally all the riders want to follow your suggestions that you give them. But sometimes when they are on track and the situation changes, they don\u2019t follow this advice. This is my situation; I don\u2019t know about you Santi.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Santi: &#8220;Yeah, like always we try to advise them the best after checking everything with all the staff of the team. Of course, the opinion from the rider is very important too because it is not only us who have the truth. Sometimes you must listen more to the rider\u2019s comments because the problem is coming more from what he\u2019s feeling. Maybe in flag-to flag-situation you have to listen more to the rider because this is what he can feel and make the difference.<br \/>\nIn another side or situation, the rider listens more to the staff because we have all the data, more information and maybe he listens more. But at the end we are deciding all together, not the rider, not the technical staff. For me it\u2019s between.&#8221;<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UuYycfNtiGs\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>How does M\u00e1rquez\u2019s team help Espargar\u00f3\u2019s team?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ram\u00f3n: &#8220;We know Marc, we know he is a champion. Then he has known this bike for eight or nine years. Normally when he says an opinion in one item it is right. We try to follow, and sometimes copy, the suggestion and the action that they do. Even if our rider, Pol, says \u2018I don\u2019t feel better,\u2019 we try it for him and see if it\u2019s really the same for him because he (Marc) is the reference anyway in Honda and in MotoGP.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does Espargar\u00f3\u2019s team help M\u00e1rquez\u2019s team?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Santi: &#8220;For me the other side of the garage is always a help to us, especially in the last two years where we weren\u2019t 100% all the time. Even for Ram\u00f3n, it is not easy every year changing the rider. When you know the rider, you change and then you start from the beginning and again one more year you start from the beginning. I hope this year his job will be easier because he knows Pol for one year, he knows the rider\u2019s style and many things, and of course it will help us. All HRC riders are trying to help because is very important all this information.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ram\u00f3n Aur\u00edn on: Marc M\u00e1rquez<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ram\u00f3n: &#8220;Marc is a big, big worker. One guy that never gives up and this is good as a rider and as a person. It\u2019s very important to have one guy like this in the team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Santi Hern\u00e1ndez on: Pol Espargar\u00f3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Santi: &#8220;He is a rider that likes to improve all the time. He is a worker; I mean he is never giving up. It\u2019s brave. It\u2019s good to have in HRC that kind of rider. I hope this year with the new bike he can get better results, it can be important for all our team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ram\u00f3n Aur\u00edn on: Santi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ram\u00f3n: &#8220;He is a good guy. He is a nice person and easy to work with. This is important in this job that you have a very, very tight relationship. Also, another thing that\u2019s very good is the honesty with his opinion and actions which are always for the team, for Honda, for HRC and for the Repsol Honda Team it is important to have honesty inside. Even if you have rivalry between two riders, at the end you want to have the best bike possible in the paddock because it makes the difference for riders. On this Santi is very, very good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Santi Hern\u00e1ndez on: Ram\u00f3n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Santi: &#8220;Yeah. I mean I\u2019ve known Ram\u00f3n for a long time. Not only in HRC, I was working in Showa, and already we were working together. I know Ram\u00f3n and for me, he is one of the reference guys in the paddock. Not only from now with his position, even in other positions he did in the teams. He has a lot of experience, a lot of knowledge for many things. For me it\u2019s important to work with Ram\u00f3n and also it is important in HRC to have Ram\u00f3n. Maybe the results weren\u2019t showing his potential, but this for me is not the problem. The difference is the knowledge and the experience and his job is great in the team, this is why he is working such a long time in HRC. That\u2019s the answer. When you are in one place from a long time ago, it\u2019s looks like you\u2019re doing your job well. This is the answer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ram\u00f3n Aur\u00edn on: Approaching 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ram\u00f3n: &#8220;This season is a little bit different from the last ones. I have the same rider, normally it should be a little bit easier to understand his comments and his request. We want to see if the bike improves the weak points from last year and try to get the maximum this season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Santi Hern\u00e1ndez on: 12 years with Marc<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Santi: &#8220;Of course, if you have same rider during many years everything is coming easier between us because everybody knows all of us and our job. But at the end, as always, we say it\u2019s difficult because everybody makes improvements, we have some weak points. We would like the new bike to help our weak points we had in the past. Try to do our best and try to be on the top like we want to be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ram\u00f3n Aur\u00edn on: Pol\u2019s adaption<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ram\u00f3n: &#8220;When you jump from one bike to another, when the concept of the bike is so different, at the beginning it\u2019s little bit difficult to ride in the lap time. But lap by lap and after some long runs they understand they need to change the riding style because the bike requests this different way to ride. The way that they need to enter in the corner is a little bit different, the way that need to brake, use the rear and front brake should be a little bit different than before.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Santi Hern\u00e1ndez on: Marc\u2019s requests for 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Santi: &#8220;Especially stability on entry, more grip and more power for the straight. This is what we want. What we want, normally all riders want more power on the straight, more stability on the brakes and more grip on the exit. This is what we request, but at the end this is where we are struggling more, especially on the straight, where you can gain lap time for free if you have a more powerful engine, it will be easier for the riders.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ram\u00f3n Aur\u00edn on: The new RC213V<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ram\u00f3n: &#8220;Last year we had some problems, especially with the rear side. From the moment the prototype came, we saw this improved and basically from Pol\u2019s side he needed more stability in the rear, more rear grip and it looks like this bike goes in this direction. For Pol it\u2019s very good, I think for everybody, when you have rear grip it\u2019s better. For sure they make some bad points, for that we need to improve, and this is what the test is for &#8211; to improve these small points. The engine looks like it will be a little bit better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Santi Hern\u00e1ndez on: The new RC213V<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Santi: &#8220;Unfortunately, we couldn\u2019t test so much earlier. The only time we tried the new bike, the proto-bike, was in Misano and unfortunately we couldn\u2019t try in Jerez. We except it\u2019s a different bike, the concept it\u2019s completely different: engine, the bike itself, aerodynamics. Many things are quite different to what we had in the past and we would like to try the proto-bike in Sepang. We hope it\u2019s better and we improve the areas there we are struggling. Of course, after the Jerez test we saw the potential of the new bike and of course it will not be like the perfect bike but it\u2019s quite interesting to start the season and see where we are. We won\u2019t have the perfect bike, but we believe we can be there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ram\u00f3n Aur\u00edn on: Targets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ram\u00f3n: &#8220;For everybody in MotoGP I think the target is to get the title. For us, we need to go, see where we are and to be always with top riders and fighting for the championship. After some races we will see where reality is and where we will go. The target is higher, after it depends on the situation, we need to except one or another.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Santi Hern\u00e1ndez on: Targets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Santi: &#8220;When you are coming from the last two years where you have not been ready to fight for the title, I would like to say we want to do the best that we can. But honestly speaking, when you are working with a rider like Marc, for me the goal is to win the title. After we\u2019ll see how the season is, how every race is, and then after that we will see where our real goal is. But if you are asking me now, what is my goal, it\u2019s to win the 2022 title with Marc.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What would you ask Santi?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ram\u00f3n: &#8220;I want to ask Santi after his experience with a super successful rider, where you have always had good results and good podiums, how do you manage when results are not what you expected?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Santi: &#8220;Wow. Unfortunately, last two years were not the best for us and it was different. With Marc in 2019 our worst result was second. It was a big difference in situation but for me the most important is to believe in what you are doing, like the rider. I mean, of course the rider wants to win. Of course, the rider wants always to do the best, but even for you, you don\u2019t need to think like you are doing something bad. Of course, many times you have doubts in yourself, but in my case, I try to believe every time in what I do and try to do like I always do. The difference after is the result but the most important is to believe in what you are doing and enjoy the moment. This is the most important.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What would you ask Ram\u00f3n?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Santi: &#8220;I would like to ask to Ram\u00f3n if this year you will be more flexible in the morning time to leave the hotel and give your mechanics 10 minutes extra to sleep.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ram\u00f3n: &#8220;I mean, maybe to the mechanics yes, but not for me. I am so nervous, I\u2019m afraid to arrive late in the paddock. Normally I am a little bit too early. But this is the character of my side.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two weeks away from the new MotoGP season, the Repsol Honda Team&#8217;s two race engineers tell us
