Joan Mir is a MotoGP championship leader who gives the strong impression of having strong shoulders. It must be said that he is already a World Champion, Moto3 category. He therefore experiences this particular pressure when the decisive moment approaches. During the first day of the Teruel Grand Prix which takes place on the now very famous Aragon track, the Suzuki official unfolded his plan which could well bring him to the skies this Sunday...
Joan mir finished fifth this start of the Grand Prix in Aragon, and that's good news when you're driving a Suzuki which is formidable in racing. The Majorcan makes no mistake when he takes stock of his day: “ It was a nice day. We have been very focused on working on worn tires. Our pace wasn't too bad. I tried different things to understand what happened to the front tire in the race. It's important to understand, I passed a lot of information to the team and everything is being analyzed now to have a great package for the weekend ».
The factory driver Suzuki is already convinced of its package, even if the GSX-RR was not at the forefront in terms of top speed: “ our package is pretty good, I don't worry about the power at all. It's probably because we were with the mileage engines, you can feel it and see it. The only problem is that the front tire was a little damaged on the left sidewall. This appears to be due to configuration, we are working on this to figure it out. Because it is important to no longer have this problem. This took us out of the fight for victory in the last race. So we focus fully on performance without having this problem ».
“I’m surprised by Honda, they are really fast”
However, previous double events of the season have shown that values tighten in the second race weekend…” It will certainly be more balanced », estimates the teammateAlex Rins who is also a rival. “ Lots of laps on this track provide a lot of information. I'm surprised by Honda, they are really fast. They probably found something because all drivers, including the test driver, are super fast. It will be interesting to see how their bike behaves during the race ».
« I think Nakagami has the best rhythm right now. We also worked with the medium rear tire, which I don't really like. Let's see if I feel a little better with the software. This is usually the tire of the coursee,” finishes the 23-year-old Spaniard.
