Honda rider Joan Mir has a theory for why he’s taken over the mantle of MotoGP’s unluckiest rider
Honda rider Joan Mir believes that his string of misfortunes in MotoGP can be attributed to the aggressive nature of his rivals, as seen in the recent race retirements caused by incidents with other riders, including Alex Marquez in the Czech Grand Prix. Mir’s numerous DNFs at Honda are becoming more frequent and happen without much fault of his own.
Despite expressing frustration towards Marquez after their collision, Mir chose to refrain from criticizing him publicly, acknowledging the competitive environment of MotoGP with faster bikes. Mir emphasized the struggle of being on an underpowered Honda compared to his previous experience with Suzuki.
Mir highlighted the need for improvements in the Honda’s performance to avoid similar incidents in the future, pointing out the bike’s lack of acceleration and power. Marquez, who accepted fault for the incident, admitted to lacking patience and emphasized the importance of learning from such experiences for the future.
