Joan Mir, like team-mate Marc Marquez, crashed out before the midway stage of the Indonesian MotoGP at Mandalika.
Although Joan Mir’s crash resulted in a disappointing outcome, there were positive aspects to take away from the race, particularly in terms of his improved lap times. Despite starting from the back of the grid, Mir quickly made up positions and showed potential. He was able to ride fast for a few laps and demonstrated this by consistently setting mid-31-second lap times. The only rider with better lap times was the race leader, Martin. Mir acknowledged that the current bike does not allow for miracles, and tracks like Mandalika are particularly challenging for their package. However, he remains optimistic for the upcoming race in Phillip Island, as the hot temperature will not be a problem for their bike. Mir emphasized that the track presents a challenge for all riders and the strong wind, combined with slipstreaming, will make for an intense race. Mir will focus on scoring points and building on the progress made in India.
