All four Honda riders struggled f🦋or outright pace on the final day of testing in Qatar, but for Mir, his physical condition played a pivotal ꦍrole in that.

Mir told MotoG✅P.com: “The truth is that today I woke up with not the best feeling on my body. I was without energy and with some stomach proble൲ms. 

“Then, we started at 💧3:30pm more or less and made a few runs but then I needed to stop for a bit. I was vomiting at that moment.

“We decided to stop and then I was honestly not feeling well to go back out. But we had many things to try and we ma🏅de an important exit with the electronics 💫side.

“There was something on t꧋he power delivery t🦂hat I was having doubts about and wanted to check again. That’s what we could do today.

“In the last minutes we made a mistake trying to make a time attack and then I lost t෴he front in turn 13. That was the end of the day.

“We couldn’t p✃ractice the starts so it was a day to forget. I wanted to go back to bed and wake up again to start this day again. But it is what it is. I wanted another day of testing after this one but we don’t have it.”

Mir finishes 1.5 seconds down on Francesco Bagnaia’s new unofficial lap record, but the Spaniard is conf𝄹ident of shaving half a second or more off that when fit.

“At 10𝓀0% we will be able to improve our lap time,” began Mir. “Not by 1.5 seconds but I think maybe a half second is something we can do.

“Being on t𒁃he pace all the day and working on the laps - but we will arrive less prepa🦩red than I wanted for the first race.

“I have confidence that the team will put [on the bike] what I couldn’t today and to have a good package 𝔉for 2024.”
