MotoGP Malaysia J1, Joan Mir (Honda/20): “It’s normal for us”

Joan Mir was among the last during the Practice in Malaysia. Absolutely nowhere this season, the Spaniard, world champion four years ago, is suffering the blow, but does not seem to be worried about his performances which are regularly less good than those of his teammate Luca Marini. Too often on the ground to bring important information back to the team, Joan Mir was no longer able to make a difference, and only finished ahead of Andrea Iannone and Lorenzo Savadori at the end of this day. It's almost sad…

Winner of a MotoGP race, Joan Mir is not there. For some time now, we no longer see him, we no longer feel him in this environment which so quickly forgets. For him, this day was nothing unusual. “Today, and I think this weekend as a whole, is very useful for us to compare our situation with the winter tests » he said this Friday.

The officials' mission, at the end of the year, mainly boils down to testing parts for 2025. But the new improvement made by Honda in Malaysia did not satisfy Luca Marini. This means that the winged firm still has work to do. “The times are obviously different because the conditions during the test are better, but we can still evaluate the evolution of our sensations and our performances » he continued.

Regarding his performance, it's impossible to be satisfied but surprisingly, the double world champion puts things into perspective.
« Normal day for us, we still have limits in the last laps. We need to check some things we did during the season.
It will be an important weekend for that »
he concluded, which is sadder than anything else.
