Both Lorenzo and Espargaro secured big moves to Repsol Honda ove🥂r the last few years, only for results to endꦺ in major disappointment and therefore lead to a move away, or in Lorenzo’s case, retirement. 

Mir’s adaptation from the Suzuki to Honda has so far gone even worse than ཧthe two riders aꦗbove him, after Le Mans saw him crash out of his fourth consecutive race.

• “Go toಌ Safety Commission with an iPad to ask: ‘Why did you pena🐷lise me?’” 
• Marc Marquez: Kalex “a small help, bu꧙t not th﷽e solution”

Teammate Marc♉ Marquez has been impressive throughout both race weekends he’s taken part in, even if results haven’t always shown it, while Alex Rins won at CO🅘TA aboard the LCR Honda.

For Mir however, the Spaniard has been nowhere whe📖n it comes to fighting for the top positions which is why his issues, particularly with front-end feeling, led him to say this.

"It’s true that you﷽ have to be very focused on all the details, because you are like on a knife edge.&n🐎bsp;

"More than pꦐhysically, it's more mentally. Mentally it destroys you, because you have to be super, super precise, always fighting with the front, trying to not over try, because then it's worse. 

"And it's a little b♏it difficult and completely different from the bike that I experienced before."

Unless results improve, Mir could find himself in a position similar to Lorenzo and Espargaro where the Japanese manufacturܫer looks﷽ to move on.

Worried that he could be the ne♌xt Honda rider to fail, Mir was quoted by GPOne.com as saying: "Of course I’m scared. I wanඣt to win. It’s difficult for a rider like me to see myself in the position I’m in. 

"My motivation is to win, get on the podium and stay ahead. These results are my fuel that I haven’t had in a lonꦆg time. I need it. 

"I remember he🐈re, last year, with the Suzuki I was racing one second faster."

Talki⛄ng of pace, and in particular race pace, Mir did have some positives to take away compared to previous rounds as he appeared to be slightly more competitive.

Able to hold his pace in the low 1m32s prior to his fall, Mir said: "I made a really good startꦆ to the race and I was able to ride comfortably in the opening laps. 

"When you are battling with the top ten and i༒n a big group, there’s a really big slipstr🐓eam effect and it becomes harder to stop the bike. 

"I stood the bike up to avoid hitting Aleix and this is where the mistake came from and I lost the grꦍoup.&n🎃bsp;

"Then I trie𒐪d some different things with the bike and I unfortunately fell. But I was able to ride in low 32s, this is really important and the thing that we have to focus on. 

"🌳We take these posꩵitives, study everything well and prepare for the next race."
