Joan Mir finished the Australian Grand Prix Sprint Race in 13th position, a performance below her expectations. After showing good signs during practice, the day’s difficult conditions, including wind and low temperatures, affected his pace and compromised his chances of fighting for the top positions.
« Today was one of those days where things didn’t go the way we wanted. “, he admitted
Joan Mir. « Yesterday I was very optimistic for today because the feeling with the bike was better than we expected, but today, with the wind and the low temperature, I couldn’t have the same sensations. »

Repsol Honda revealed that a set-up change made before the race did not have the desired effect: “
we changed the settings a bit and it probably didn’t help because I was not able to attack. »
Joan Mir: « anything can happen, so let’s continue, as always »
Rather than risking a crash, Mir preferred to ensure security and bring back valuable data for his team: “ When things are like this, it’s best to play it safe, collect dataof
bring back the bike and myself and debrief with the team. »
Despite this poor performance, Joan Mir maintain confidence for Sunday’s race, hoping that milder weather conditions will allow him to redeem himself: “
tomorrow is another dayconditions seem better and as we have seen, anything can happen, so let’s continue as always. »
