Joan Mir explains why all his crashes have been in races – MotoGP title leader Marco Bezzecchi tops the list of 2026 fallers.
Joan Mir has had a challenging start to the MotoGP season due to the limitations of his Honda, which led to finishes in only two out of the first six races.
Mir encountered tire wear issues and has since suffered four crashes in Sprints and GPs, but has shown consistency in practice sessions and qualifying rounds with no accidents.
Although Mir’s championship points are low, his crash count of four puts him at the same level as other top riders, including Acosta, di Giannantonio, and Martin.
Despite the crashes, Mir remains determined to fight for top positions, acknowledging the need to take risks to keep up with competitors in race conditions.
Mir’s recent crash at COTA, while pushing for a podium finish, highlighted the challenges he faces with the behavior of his Honda’s RCV under braking.
