Mir: Important for Honda “to take responsibility” for 2024 MotoGP bike woes
Honda appeared to have made significant progress with its 2024 bike during the Valencia test in November, but unfortunately, this turned out to be a false impression. The team is currently at the bottom of the constructors’ standings with only eight points after the first two races of the season, with their best result being 11th place in Portugal. Despite their struggles, Honda riders have been facing challenges during practice sessions and races, with Joan Mir expressing concerns regarding the team’s development direction for the 2024 RC213V. Mir acknowledged the need for quick changes to improve performance and attributed their current struggles to taking the wrong path in development. The team is determined to identify and rectify the issues they are facing, especially in terms of improving the bike’s braking potential and agility. Mir remains positive about his own capabilities as a rider but emphasizes the urgency for Honda to make necessary modifications and improvements promptly.
