After spending his entire MotoGP career at Suzuki and winning the 2020 title, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Joan Mir suddenly found hims✱elf needing a new team when the factory dec🍌ided to quit at the end of 2022.

Now in the second and final year of his current Repsol Honda contract, the 26-year-old must make a similar call to formerౠ team-mate Marc Marquez: 

Should Mir stay an💙d bet on a Honda recovery or seek instant competit🍨iveness by moving to a European bike, even if that means joining a satellite team?

How much Marquez’s frontrunning form after walking out of Honda for a year-old Gresini Ducati will influence Mir’s choice is unclear but the #36 admits🌼 to having multiple ‘options on the table’.

“I have options on the table, but I don't really know what I want to do,” Mir said. “I need a bit more time, to understand, to take a good decision for my🍨 future. This is the reality.”

After 24 top🐷-five finishes, including 13ಌ podiums and a race win, at Suzuki, Mir scored just 26 points at Honda last season.

Of the six grand prix he f🍷inished, between accidents and injuries, the Spaniard’s best was a fifth place in India,🐻 his only top ten appearance.

While Mir is Honda’s top rider in the early 2024 standings, he has scored ♔just twelve points and finished no higher than twelfth in a grand prixꦗ.

Mir admitted the step change in reℱsults since leaving Suzuki, which new Repsol team-mate Luca Marini is also now experiencing, takes its toll mentally.

“Very difficult. Because speaking about myself, I came from in [four] years winning two ti🌼tles, in three different categories,” said the 2017 Moto3 wor🥀ld champion.

“So it means that I was always in the front in every year. A bad year ꦓwas to be fighting for fifth positio😼n.

“🤡You feed off the good results. Now you don't have this any more, so you have to motivate yourself in a different way.

“The small things, making a good race with the package that you have, t♌hat actually you cannot do more. And giving 100%. This is the motivation that you have to find at the moment.

“It's true that it's tough. The more success you've had in ༒the past, the more difficult it is to understand the situation.

“Last year was a very difficult one for me, mentally. But this year I think I'm in a differ♑ent mood.

“I ജtry to give my 100%, be professional, give t💎he correct feedback, and I just expect to get better. “

However, speaking before this week’s private Mugello test🍸, Mir confessed:

“Honda are working very hard, but at the moment we are not getting the upgrades that we n﷽eed. Soඣ I don't know honestly what to expect at the end of the season.

“I hope that in the Mugel𓃲lo test we w🦩ill get an upgrade to make one step more.

“If like in J🅷erez, we were 20 seconds from the [top] with this package, then if we can be +12 or 15 seconds, that will be one step.”

Among the teams that could be interested in trying to temp Mir from Repsol Honda are Trackhouse, now run by Mir’s former Suzuki t👍eam principal Davide Brivio.

Of Honda’s four MotoGP 🅷riders, Mir and Takaaki Nakagami are out of contract this season, with new arrival𒈔s Marini and Zarco having deals in place until the end of 2025.
