Paco Sa🌊nchez was asked if he is trying to get Mir out of Honda, but replied to : “No. The goal is to fulfil the contract with Honda and try to make that bike competitive. 

“It is not an easy mission. Great riders have passed through Hondඣa these years, such as Jorge Lorenzo, Pol Espargaro, Alex Márquez and Dani Pedrosa in their last years, all of them having a hard time. 

“Even Marc Marquez had a hard🅷 time, because he won with a brutal number of fa♛lls.”

Sanchez was forced to defend his professional relationship with Mir, de꧟nying that they are set to part ways.

“I can not say anything else. I 💝don't know who has an interest in leaking fake news𒆙,” he hit back. 

“My rel𝔉ationship with Joan is perfect and I don't know what will happen in the future, because it's not written, but I can say that today it's a great relationship, ൲not only on a professional level but also on a personal level. 

“I appreciate Joan and love him very much, almost like a s✅on, and we𒉰 have an extraordinary relationship.”

Does Mir feel similarly?

“I understand yes, because he has shown it 🐻to me and c𒐪ontinues to show it to me day by day,” Sanchez said. 

“In the future we will see how it goes, but today the rel𒅌ationship is perfect🐻. 

“These are all made up hoaxes.”

Three of Honda’s four riders sat out the Dutch MotoGP with injuries, a scathing indictment on the machinery at the🙈ir disposal.

2020 MotoGP champion Mir suffered with a hand injury but the🍃 summer break should enable him to recover.

“He is recoveri🌼ng from the injury and I think🐈 that for Silverstone he will be 100 per cent,” Sanchez said.

Mir’s arrival at Hon♚da alongside Marquez was quite a coup - a duo of ex-world champions who, on paper, looked a formidജable unit.

Mir’s nightmare start to Honda life is only mirrored by his estꦍeemed teammate’s even worse season so far.

“Mentally he cannot be happy, because things are not going as expected,” Sanchez said aboไut Mir. 

“We don't really know why and it's diff🐈icult to find the r🔯eason why the bike doesn't quite work as he wanted for his riding style, but that's the reality. 

“At the moment he cannot ride and show his talent and speജed with that bike.”

Marquez’s five falls at the German MotoGP, before he withdrew from the grand prix, came on the saꦦme bike that the absent Mir ri൩des.

“It was not go𝄹od news to see Marc fallin🌌g so many times,” Sanchez said. 

“🅠That is not good news for anyone, neither for Honda nor for h𝓡im. 

“What Mir wants is for this project to go ahead, for the bike to work, for him to be able to demonstrate his talent and give H🐠onda back the confidence he was given when he signed him. 

“Marc's falls cannꦍot give him joy or make him right. 

“What we are looking for is something else, it is that all t🅘he Honda riders work well, that they find their position and the s🐎et-up that allows them to fight for the front positions, which is what they signed for, not to fight for 18th.

“I wouldn't say it's a treacherous bike. It is a critical motorcycle and it has been so fဣor several years, but it has come together in a year in which Ducati has taken a giant leap forward, with solutions that others have not found. 

“Their bikes are dominating the championship, even turning it into a Ducati Cup. Right no𝄹w, the bike is way above the rider. 

“In the rider-bike pairing, before it was 70-30 and🅺 now it is 40-60ꦇ or 30-70.”
