Joan Mir: Australian MotoGP “was a nightmare”
“I 𓆉struggled during all the race with some unex🌳pected problem…”

Joan Mir was feeling po𓆏sitive before the Australian MotoGP, but ultimately crashed out after suffering with an “unexpected” problem from the start.
While Mir’s Repsol Honda teammate Luca Marini left Australia feeling as though the work he and his team had been doing from the beginning of the year is finally paying off, such positivity was abse🦄nt in the summary of the race from Mir.
“It was a✱ nightm💫are,” Mir told MotoGP.com after crashing out of the Australian Grand Prix with two laps to go.
“I didn’t understand what really happened, honestly. I struggled during all the race wiಌth some unexpected problem that I didn’t have during all th🤪e weekend.
“It’s these days that🅰 you don’t know what to say, because I was optimistic, in the Warm Up my feelings wereﷺ a lot better, and we work a bit on the details for the race. “
Mir said that it was a vibration that made his race s🅺o difficult, and one that is difficult to solve because he appears to be the only Honda rider who suffered ꦗfrom it in Australia.
“Then👍, in the race, I was not able to ride. I was having a huge amount of vibration on the 🐎bike.
“Weꦚ don’t really understand from where we have the vibration, because it 𓃲seems like I’m the only one and this is very difficult.
“We will try to understand, this is the only thing that I can say: we will 🌌try to understand, we will work, and we will not🤡 give up.”
