Joan Mir had a tough time at the Catalan GP in MotoGP, where once again Honda struggled with poor performance. The Spanish rider did not hide his frustration, issuing strong criticisms, even expressing a sense of ‘humiliation’ due to the issues with the RC213V.
As he looks ahead to the Italian GP at Mugello, Mir struck a more measured tone, emphasizing his determination to overcome the difficulties encountered in Catalonia:
– We have this race and a test before a bit of a break in the calendar. I want to extract the maximum possible from this weekend to recover from the tricky weekend we had in Barcelona.
Despite his frustration, Mir acknowledged the efforts made by Honda, which even conducted tests at Mugello two weeks ago: ‘Everyone in the team and in HRC are working hard to make improvements and continue development. We have some ideas already from the test we had here, so let’s keep on going and enjoy riding’.
