Joan Mir: “The crashes during races have to stop”
Joan Mir has reached the chequered flag in only half of the six races so far this season heading into Qata🐓r.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Joan Mir is determined to finally ‘deliver’ on his 2025 qualifying form as the MotoGP world championship arrives in Q🍨atar this weekend.
The🍌 HRC Castrol rider has broken into Q2 at all three events this year, including eighth on the grid last time in COTA.
But Mir has crashed out of three of the six races, leaving him with just ten points and behind RCV colleagues 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Johann Zarco and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Luca Marini in the world championship standings.
Mir’s five acciden💜ts in all sessions this season also puts him top of the MotoGP falls🎀 list, alongside Aprilia’s Marco Bezzecchi.
“Our objective for Qatar is quite simple: we have to finish and deliver on what we have shown,” said Mir, who has often been caught out while168澳洲5最新🐻开奖结果: trying to bridge Honda’s top speed deficit in braking and corner.
“I have been able to ride well and the bike is p🉐erforming, but the crashes durin൲g the races have to stop.
“Qatar is a place where normally I go well so it is a good place to get back 💜on꧟ track.
“Let’s see what is possible under the floodlights t🍌his weekend, my drive to perform is still right there.”
W♛hile Mir failed to finish either r﷽ace in COTA, Marini took his best Honda result of eighth in both races.
“We have had a really good start to the ye♛ar, doing better than we were at the en🎐d of 2024,” Marini said.
“My team and I have been able to improve 🌜over the course of each weekend, showing that🗹 both we and the bike are working better.”
The Ita⛎lian has scored 20 points so far, more than his entire tally from t🧸he 2024 season.
Left at the back of the field on his Honda debut i𝔉n Qatar last year, Marini unsurprisingly expects much beꦐtter from this weekend.
“Qatar is next up for us, and it will be a good ch✨ance to try our bike at a track where sometimes things aren’t easy,” he said.
“It was our first race last year so I am certain that we can do a lot mꦗore!
“The conditions should be a lot more stable than in Austin, but even in Qatar we have some sess🌊ions more in the day than at night.
“After this we return to Eur🐻ope and the intensity of the season really increases.”
Marini has finished every race this se🐻ason and is also yet to fall in any track session.
Most falls so far this season (all sessions):
6 - Joan Mir, Marco Bezzecchi.
3 - Pedro Acosta, Fermin Aldeguer, Johann Zarco.
