Joan mir

Joan Mir arrived in Barcelona with the best intentions to experience a Catalan Grand Prix which he intended to make an opportunity to put behind him his last two retirements due to falls. Because the 2020 World Champion is no longer there since the curse of the announcement of the premature withdrawal of Suzuki, his team, from MotoGP at the end of the year. Stunned and with his future plans suddenly precarious, the Majorcan is desperately looking for his second wind. This Sunday, he will start the ninth round of the championship with a 17th place which symbolizes the state of a driver petrified by doubt.

Joan mir tries to react, but the track makes him fall into the ditch each time. Meanwhile, the team Suzuki who already knows he is euthanized is in a fatal whirlwind which sucks him towards the abyss. A situation that does not produce anything good and the Majorcan explains it this way: “ everything happened at the same time. Suzuki leaving is difficult for everyone, it is not the right time for Suzuki and to solve the problems we have now. People are more discouraged and that's normal. We all experience it and next year we won't have a job ».

Joan Mir: “with the new engine we have other problems"

He adds : " the results are always important. I am not a driver who pushes harder to improve because, in each race I give 100%. Now we are in a rut that we have to get out of through hard work and a good attitude ».

Joan mir also explains that the GSX-RR reveals problems at each race which had not been detected when it appeared with the new engine: “ the engine and top speed have improved. NOW, we have other problems that we didn't realize at the time. They go race by race from Qatar. With a new engine we have room to improve. It's a difficult situation and I think it can be improved. We can't be in these positions. Something serious is happening to not be able to do last year's times with an unevolved bike » he ends on Todocircuito.
