Joan Mir has delivered a 🅺detailed explanation on how ♈he will decide whether to stay at Honda, or to quit.

Mir is into his second, and ♛final, year of his Honda꧅ contract but his bike looks worse than ever.

He admitted ahead of this weekend’s Catalunya MotoGP that he is assessing his tea𝔍m’s plans for improvement before deciding whether to seek a new employer in 2025.

“In ter♐ms of what I want to do in the future? Honestly, I💎 don’t know,” Mir said in Barcelona.

“It is difficult to say if I want to stay or not when you do🍸♈n’t see the performance.

“I’ve been here for one y♔ear and we are ꦏin the same situation as last year, if not a bit worse, in terms of bike performance.

“For me now, the most important thing is to understand when we will be competitive. When we𝓡 will get good performances, when we will get close to the top guys.

“When I understand that, I will be able 🐻to decide.

“Now, I don’t know ifꦰ I can do another year like thi꧑s…

“It would be very hard.”

But, the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2025 MotoGP rider line-up is already taking shape and some coveted bikes are being snapped up, Mir was t♒old.

Delaying his decision could cost him the chance to snare a be💜ܫtter machine elsewhere.

“It’s a risk that we should probably take,” he ⛎replied.

“It is true that the market moves very fast.”

Honda underwent a private test at Mugello in the past fortnight, ahead of the♔ MotoGP🦂 round at the same circuit next week.

Mir insists that any new parts he saw in Muge🌠llo will not directly influence his decision of whether to stay at Honda.

“This doesn’t chan𓆏ge at all,” he said. “As a rider you😼 always give 100%, you give good information.

“The year is very lon💯g. A small thing can completely change our life.”

Honda's Mugello upgrades explained

The privatꦓe Mugello test for Honda and Yamaha was a part of the new concessions rule to aid their devܫelopment.

M🗹ir revealed: “We made a lot of lꦺaps, it was a very productive test.

“We tried a lot of things. Aerodynamics, especially. Different♊ 💛configurations on the engine.

“We won’t get what we requested at the test for [this weekend]. We will have a similar pa🉐ckage.

“We are in the progress of working. We need this ꧋month, two races at the end of June, then another month. From there, we will take𒀰 a step forward.

“We are working on 🤡the correct direction, I am 100% sure. We need effort and work on that direction.

“This is the homework they must do in J🔯apan. They are working hard, I know it.

“In the next two montওhs we will get good upgrades on our bike.”

Mir said about the engine he tested: “We tried a different one. It was better, it helps the bike to turn. This was one area🧜 which w🧸e lost our way.

“On the other hand, the power changes a 🌌bit. They have to put i🍸t all together.

“We saw it can have 💟positive things. But they must work to take a step in the weak points.”

Mir said about new aero parts: “It was good, positive. It was not a big evolution. It was aꦜ step.

“I won’t use it [this weeke💎nd]. I will probably use it at the next race.

We are following the steps.”

Mir was ꦗasked if the new Honda upgrades are improving his lap time, or just his feeling with the bike.

“To be translated to lap times, we must🦹 improve the weak points,” he said.

“It is better in s▨ome areas but we have lost in a l🍒ot of areas.

“If they can make the good things now with the good things we had in the “past, then they will♒ make a step.”

Mir did, however, 🦋insist that he f♔inally believes Honda are moving in the right direction.

“Yes. In terms of evolution, yes,” he confirmed.

“Before, I had a feeling inside of me that we were not working in the ⛄corre🃏ct direction.

“Now, I have a good feeling.”
