Joan Mir mentioned that a minor tyre pressure error cost Honda their first MotoGP podium of the season in Catalunya, where he finished second. Mir briefly lost second place to winner Fabio di Giannantonio before reclaiming it from Pedro Acosta. Mir was penalized post-race for low tyre pressure, missing the required percentage by a small margin. He joked about the championship points but emphasized his satisfaction with his performance. Mir found the penalty strange due to the sprint race format, feeling it was a harsher punishment compared to a full race. Despite the penalty, Mir aims to bounce back at the Mugello round and continue his season.
