Diogo Moreira, recently confirmed as the new rider for the Honda factory team for the upcoming MotoGP season, has expressed his enthusiasm and ambition following the tests held in Austria. The Brazilian rider, who has already been recognized as the best rookie of the year, is confident that Honda can compete for the world title next year.

Moreira, in statements made after his confirmation to the team, has commented that his expectations for the new season are high, and that his goal is to fight for more than just points. Although he acknowledges that it is too early to determine the competitive level of the bikes, his analysis of the lap times obtained during the tests has been encouraging.

According to Moreira, the key is to be well prepared for the first grands prix, as both the bikes and tires change. He notes that, as happened in Moto2 with the new Pirelli tires, the beginnings of the season could make a difference. His new teammate, Fabio Quartararo, is considered one of the best riders in the championship, a challenge that Moreira sees as an opportunity to grow and elevate the team’s level.

Finally, Moreira has shared that being in a factory team involves more pressure, but that motivates him to work harder. He is preparing physically and mentally to take on the new responsibilities of his career. With confidence in his skills and in Honda’s improvement, Moreira is optimistic about what lies ahead in the next MotoGP season.
