Joan Mir has delivered a detailed explanation on how he will dec🦩ide whether to stay at Honda, or to quit.

Mir is into his♕ second, and final, year of his Hond♉a contract but his bike looks worse than ever.

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

“In terms of what I want to do in the future? Honestly, I don’t know,” Mir said in Barce♏lona.

“I𓆏t is difficult to say if I want to stay or not when you don’t see the performance.

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

“F🥂or me now, the most important thing is to understand when we will be competitive. When we 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 kno❀w if 𓆏I can do another year like this…

“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, Mirཧ was told.

Delaying his decision could cost ♛him the chance to snare a better 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 circui💎t next week.

Mir insists that any new parts he saw in Mugello wi🍨ll not directly influence🔜 his decision of whether to stay at Honda.

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

“The year is very loꦚng. A small thi🐎ng can completely change our life.”

Honda's Mugello upgrades explained

The private Mugello teﷺst forꦰ Honda and Yamaha was a part of the new concessions rule to aid their development.

Mir revealed: “We made a lot of laps, it was a very ꦅproductive test.

“We tried a lot of things. Aerodynamic🍃s, especially. Differ𝔉ent configurations on the engine.

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

“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 take a step forward.

“We are working on the correct direction, I am 100% sure. We need effo♋rt and work on that direction.

“This is𝓡 the homework they must do in Japa💛n. They are working hard, I know it.

“In the next two months we will get good upꦉgrades on our bike.”

Mir said about the engine he tested: “We tried a different one. It was better, it hel🦄ps the bike to turn. This🙈 was one area which we lost our way.

“On th𒁏e other hand, the poweജr changes a bit. They have to put it all together.

“We saw it can have positive things. But they🐼 must꧒ work to take a step in the weak points.”

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

“I won’t use it [this weekend]🧸. I will probably use it at the next race.

We are following the steps.”

Mir was asked if t🌱he new Honda upgrades are improving his lap ti🐽me, or just his feeling with the bike.

“To be translated to🌠 lap times, we must improve t🅘he weak points,” he said.

“It is better in so🐻me areas but we have lost in a lot of areaꦏs.

“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 correct direction.

“Now, I have a good feeling.”
