Sepang MotoGP Test: Joan Mir: ‘Bike completely different to before, riding more like a Honda style’

Outside the top ten come the end of the three day Sepang MotoGP test, Mir and Honda appear to be far from challenging for wins although steps forward were made in terms of pace and his feeꦰlings wi🍸th the bike throughout.
Mir finished just over a tenth down on eight-time world champion teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez, who also failed to record a top ten result on day three, however, Ma♈rquez chose not to set a tim𝕴e attack late on, as opposed to many of the riders around him.

So what was Mir’s takeaway from hiꦍs first ‘serious’ test with the RC2📖13V?
Well, due to the significant upgrades brought 🧸by Honda, the Spaniard had a ‘completely different’ bike compared t🌌o what he rode previously, although he concluded the test feeling positive about his position.
"The b♔ike is comple🍬tely different to the one I tried before, the riding style is huge how it’s changed," said Mir.
"[I’m] happy wi𝓀t൩h the progress that we are doing, I feel stronger than yesterday and I feel the bike is more like mine and I am able to ride in a better way than yesterday.
"Happy overall, the team works pretty well ♌during these three days and this is a boost for the start of the season."
‘We are still far’ as Honda’s MotoGP title hopes appear slim for 2023

Uttering similar comments to Marquez, but also his 💃own comments fol🌄lowing day one, Mir still felt as though Honda is lacking pace compared to its rivals, which was again highlighted by the lap times.
Seven Ducatis and two Aprilias finished inside the top nine, while all nine of those riders were quicker than Mir by at lea⛄st four🌠 tenths or more.
With the gaps an obvious worry, Mir is still remaining upbeat: "For sure we are still a bit far, but every day we are closer. So this is very important that every day we feel better with the bike, that I’m riding more like a Honda style, I’m riding i♎n a completely different way now and this is a way that I enjoy.
"These days I le🥂arned a lot, the team helped me a lot to help me understand how to be competitive wit💮h this bike, and we are following the good steps, but I’m still a rookie with this bike."
