Honda heads into 2024 with the aim of arresting a period of decline that has seen it slump to the bottom of the standings in the last two seasons and lose its star rider Marc Marquez to Gresini Ducati.
The Japanese marque has been working hard over the winter to deliver tangible improvements to the RC213V, with both Mir and Luca Marini getting a chance to put some additional laps on the bike at the Sepang shakedown last week before the entire field converged at the Malaysian venue on Tuesday for the first full-blown pre-season test of the year.
