After experiencing two of their worst seasons in MotoGP in 2023 and 2024, Joan Mir believes Honda has made prog🔯ress with its RC213V in💖 2025.

The Spaniard, who this year enters his third season with HRC, thinks that the RC213V is closer to the front now than it was last year after he finished the penultimate day of MotoGP preseason testing at Buriram in 11th p𓃲lace, and his Honda HRC Castrol teammate Luca Marini was sixth.

“Better than expected? No,” the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Honda HRC Castrol rider said. “But it’s better. I fee꧋l that we have a better performance than last yea♔r.

“We are closer to the good pace and we are closer to theﷺ good lap times.

“So, I will say ‘yes’, we are more prepared this year than last year – probably not enough, but we made some improvements: the bike is mo💙re rideable, today we improved the braking area, and also it was a little bit of a difficult day because we had some technical problems in the morning, then due to this we had to change the plan and that probably means that tomorrow we will try more things than what we had in the plan.

“But, anyway, it’s okay, these things can happen, and I think❀ thꦫat tomorrow we will do another step forward, I think we have margin.”

Joan Mir explains Romano Albesiano impact

Expanding on the problems he had in the mornಌing, Mir said that it was🔯 to do with the ride height device.

“We had some technical prob🔥lems on the rear [ride height] device♚ that it was not working perfectly, but then we solved it,” he said.

“It was a technic🌌al issue that delayed our programme, but at the en▨d I think it was okay.”

One of the key changes at Honda for 2025 is tꦰhe arrival of Romano Albesiano from Aprilia to take up the role of technical 🧸director at HRC.

Mir said was asked if there had been a change in th🥀e working method that he had noticed since Albesiano’s arrival at the end of last year.

He said: “I think that the environment inside the garage is similar – I work with my𝓡 team. But it’s t✅rue that we see some improvement on the bike that is the proof that you can do it.

“If ๊you are making the things correctly, then we will improve 🍌our performance on the bike and the reality is that in a short time we improved the performance.

“Now I’m riding a bike that more or less you can ride it, you can ride comfortably. 𓆉It’s true that we are still losing in acceleration and to🐼p speed a lot, we have vibration a lot, but we improve today the braking. We are making some steps forward.
