Joan Mir: “It’s totally my fault”

Joan Mir (Repsol Honda RC 213 V), who was unable to finish the MotoGP Grand Prix of the Americas after crashing, admitted that “it was a mistake” of his.

“In terms of sensations today I had the best with this bike in the race. The thing is I started and I tried to do the same the other day but I hit myself at the start and I fell a bit. Then I kind of came back and caught up I had some riders, but it was very difficult for me to overtake. We lacked a lot of top speed and I was losing a lot on the straights, so I wanted to open up the back straight.when you do twelve and thirteen to open me next time. I’m a little dirty. It was entirely my faultExplanation of Mir.

“From the race I can only get the good feelings I got and that’s it I was able to drive the way I wanted, with more throttle control, getting better than yesterday. I really enjoyed myself even more”, assured the Repsol rider.

The improvement was explained by Joan Mir that “they changed the geometry of the bike a little”, as he commented “yesterday we were riding more on the front end of the bike and the back was like nothing and we used the brakes too much because we didn’t stop.. Today, on the other hand, the bike worked more normally, it was possible to stop and the speed in the corner was quite good, but as before we were a bit behind”.

“When you fight and you think you can have potential, you teach some things, but you’re not very fit and it’s hard to manage it with enthusiasm and desire. But we will continue to push to restore this situation“, insisted the Repsol Honda rider.

“It reminds me a lot of the 2019 season. I’d rather not be a regular and try to find something else and if I’ve hit the limit, then I’ve hit it, but our strong point is always when we have the speed to fight in the top five, the first three, that we know how to do it and then I can exploit my regularity. Right now it’s a point that I’m not looking to be regular, I’m looking for speed,” Mir insisted on his problems.
