Honda has settled on Shin Sato as the new technical chief for its beleaguered MotoGP project after making the decision axe Shinichi Kokubu, Motorsport.com has learned.
Sato, previously head of development for the Honda RC213V, will start in his new role as general technical director on October 1, the same day the Japanese Grand Prix takes place at Motegi.
Marquez made a reference to Kokubu's departure in his statements on the media after Friday practice in Japan. “But one more time I continue with my words: I’m not the guy who chooses where, how and who needs to make the bike." Motorsport.com understands that Honda executives are still trying to convince Marquez to honour the final year of his contract over the course of the various meetings that will held at Motegi this weekend.
