Midday, Day 3: Martin moves goalposts as times improve

Another rider to improve his overall best time is Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team), and after having four bikes in his box for the first two days, there’s only three on his side of the factory HRC garage on Sunday – and one of them has a cover on it. The two bikes he’s been out on this morning have been the 2023 development bikes, they each have a different chassis, but look very similar from the outside. Notably, the experimental bike that’s been a hot topic of conversation hasn’t made an appearance on Day 3.
