Repsol Honda's performance during the 2022 MotoGP is somewhat bleak. Stefan Bradl felt it right .
At the Dutch MotoGP which was held on Sunday (26/6/2022), Stefan Bradl only finished 18th out of 20 riders. He lost to compete with Andrea Dovizioso and Luca Marini.
Worse yet, none of the Honda riders finished in the top 10. Takaaki Nakagami of LCR Honda Idemitsu was the best, where he finished 12th.

After the race at Assen, Stefan Bradl admitted there were mistakes he made during the race. It was created because he thought he lost his rhythm.
"We often lose in the corners. We have to brake strong enough and step on the gas again. That's where the problem is," said Bradl quoted from Speedweek .
"Some are missing, many are not smooth. We lost our rhythm during the race," he said again.
Difficult
Bradl continued, the Honda RC213V is very difficult to drive. There are many flaws in the motor.
"You have to brake like crazy and then you have to hit the gas as fast as you can. It worked a few times but lost a lot of speed, especially after cornering."
"I need a bike that can corner smoothly. We racers have to exert our physicality. It's really difficult to ride a Honda motorcycle."
"This is not something new, so we have to fix something," he concluded.
