Alberto Puig insists he has not entered talks with the unhappy Joa𒈔n Mir over hi𝕴s Honda future.

Mir has endured a miserable experience sinc🐻e joining Re🔯psol Honda at the start of last year.

He has 🎃previously discussed a premature re🍨tirement and, more recently, has spoken about leaving when his contract expires at the end of the year.

Repsol Honda team boss Puig✱ was asked if he has an update on Mir’s plans.

“No,” he❀ said in Mugello. “Normally a rider, when thi🐟ngs are not working, he gets a little bit…

“Of course, we fully understand he’s not happy.

“But for now, frankly speaking, we are trying to focus - all of us, him, Luca,൩ all of the team - on trying to fix the bik😼e’s problems.

“So we still have not got to a discussion, regౠarding a renew🔯al.

“Sooner or later - this month,▨ this summer, June or July - we will have to make some decisions.

“We will go from there.”

Honda are firm♕ly stranded at the back of the grid.

Mir is 17th in the MotoGP standings after Mugello⛎.

His teammate Luca Marini, a new recruit this season to replace Marc Marquez, is struggling♛ even more so than M൲ir.

Marini🧔 is the only full-time rider without a single point this season.

Mir has been linked with a move to Trackhouse👍, the Aprilia satellite outfit run by Davide Brivio.

Brivio worked with Mir during his Suzuki days, 💝when he won the 2020 t♒itle.
