The two Japanese manufacturers in MotoGP are only Yamaha and Honda remaining. It is said that because a Japanese manufacturer, Suzuki decided to 'walk away' from MotoGP last season.
Now in MotoGP 2023 there are only two manufacturers left, it is hoped that they can rise and be victorious again.
The reason is if we look at Yamaha and Honda the last few seasons have not bitten. Starting from Yamaha, actually the team is arguably not entirely bad citing Motorsport.
This is thanks to Fabio Quartararo, who has been able to 'carry' a team for the last two seasons. Where in 2021, Quartararo managed to come out as world champion.
Then in 2022 he was the runner-up of the MotoGP World Championship. It's just that makes Yamaha less biting because the other three racers are less flashy.
Apart from Quartararo, there are three other riders from Yamaha. But the action was not captivating because of the difficulties in taming the M1.
Let's say that last season there was Franco Morbidelli as a Quartararo team who mble. Then there were two WithU Yamaha RNF riders who were previously filled by Andrea Dovizioso and Darryn Binder.
Both are also very, very difficult to show their spurs on the track. Even because the M1 was difficult to tame, Divizioso decided to retire.
The decision was taken because he felt he was no longer competitive in MotoGP 2022. Now in MotoGP 2023, Yamaha will rely on 2 new racers.
At WithU Yamaha RNF there will be Raul Fernandez (Spain) Miguel Oliveira (Portugal). It is hoped that the two riders will be a breath of fresh air for Yamaha to boost their performance.
Meanwhile in the Honda camp, it has decreased quite drastically. After shining enough in 2019 through Marquez, Honda has actually been blending since 2020.
Factors that affect the quality of motorbikes made by Honda are declining. So that the 4 Honda riders had quite a hard time taming it.
It's more or less the same as Yamaha. Interestingly, even though he was bleating, only Marc Marquez could tame Honda.
The proof is in the 2022 season, Marquez was able to get one podium with Honda. But the restoration was not enough to boost Honda's performance.
Therefore, ahead of MotoGP 2023, Marquez has given Honda an ultimatum. The reason is The Baby Alien is determined to challenge for the title this season.
So he needs a motorbike that can boost his performance to pursue the title.
