Despite being granted additional advantages from MotoGP’s new concession system, Honda continues to struggle at the back of the grid. In the first five races of 2024, the highest Honda rider, Joan Mir, has not finished higher than 12th place. Mir’s teammate Luca Marini is still looking for his first point of the campaign, often fighting with other Honda riders outside the points. Mir emphasized Honda’s issues after the Jerez test and expressed uncertainty about when improvements will be seen. Mir is concerned about the toll that riding the uncompetitive Honda bike is taking on his body and how long he can wait for the bike to improve. He believes a competitive package could change Honda’s fortunes and is determined to give his best despite the challenges.
