[kropotkin thinks...] - Joan Mir Interview: "We Crash A Lot Because We Are Extremely

----------------- Joan Mir Interview: "We Crash A Lot Because We Are Extremely Fast On Corner Entry" It has been a tough year for Joan Mir. The 2020 world champion joined the Repsol Honda squad with high hopes, after Suzuki had decided to pull out of MotoGP at the end of the 2022 season. Testing was promising, at least when compared to the other Hondas. At the Sepang test, he was a tenth behind his teammate, six-time MotoGP champion Marc Marquez. At the final test in Portimão, he was a tenth of a second faster than Marquez, and best Honda. The fact that the Repsol Hondas were seven or eight tenths off the Ducatis at the head of the test was a concern, as was the fact that they were floating around just outside the top ten. There was hope, but 2023 was clearly going to be an uphill battle. Mir could not have imagined just how tough it would be. In Argentina, the second round of the season, he crashed in the sprint race, forcing to miss the Sunday GP with dizziness and vertebra problems. At Mugello, he crash on Friday afternoon and broke a finger in his right hand, causing him to miss the Mugello-Sachsenring-Assen triple header. At Valencia, he crashed on Friday morning, suffering problems with his neck, and was ruled out of the rest of the weekend, only returning for the test. David EmmettThu, 07/12/2023 - 16:10
