Mir on Honda changes: ‘Important thing is if something arrives that works’
According to Mir, the success of the decision to make staff changes at Repsol Honda will ultimately be determined by track performance. This follows the departure of Kokubu from the project, as well as the earlier exit of RC213V technical manager Takeo Yokoyama. Mir believes that if there are internal staff movements, it is because it was necessary and the Japanese manufacturers typically do not make such changes easily. The key to determining the effectiveness of these changes will be whether or not improvements are seen on the bike. Mir’s team-mate Marc Marquez had also emphasized the importance of real progress on the race track rather than promises made in meetings. Mir, the 2020 world champion, is expected to have a significant role in the Repsol Honda team in the post-Marquez era. The identity of Mir’s future team-mate has yet to be announced, but Johann Zarco is a likely candidate.
