Honda MotoGP factory team rider Joan Mir is going through a difficult season, accumulating few points and many accidents. Despite the new developments tested by Honda, Mir remains skeptical about the progress to come. “ I have no idea when things will move forward,” admits Mir to Motorsport-Total.com. " That's honest of me. I didn't know how long my body would last, but I'm still here, trying to do my best.«
Joan mir, which fell 24 times last year, has already fallen six times this season. With such a heavy toll, it is not surprising that he questions his future at Honda, especially since rumors associate him with TrackHouse-Aprilia for a possible collaboration with his former manager at Suzuki, Davide Brivio.
As for its adaptation to Honda, Mir is lucid: “ everyone who left Honda in recent years was in worse shape than when they arrived. It is a fact. No one left in better shape."

However, he remains hopeful: “ I am sure that with a competitive bike, I would immediately be back in the lead. I'm faster than last year, even if the bike is worse."
Santi Hernández, team leader at Honda, shares his thoughts on Mir, which he finds transformed compared to the previous year. “ I perceived him as introverted and uncommunicative, but working with him revealed to me an open man, eager to try everything we offer,” says Hernández. “ He is ready to do anything to improve his performance."
With the internal changes at Honda et Mir taking a more influential role, the team hopes these adjustments will bear fruit. Hernández expresses his optimism: “ It is important that at the end of the year, Joan feels that working with us has been a success. We do everything possible for this."
