Honda brought news about the MotoGP Test in Misano and Joan Mir considers this was the ultimate opportunity for the manufacturer to show something for the next season, even though what he experienced in the morning wasn’t that ‘huge’ in terms of performance difference.
The rider started by saying, still during the morning testing period: ‘Any help would be very welcome, but it’s true that if we can’t test a new engine here, they will probably have less time to develop for the next test in Valencia. It would be better if we could have a new engine today to try to understand something, but if not, we will focus on what we have’.
Mir was pleased with the fact that the Japanese had brought some new features, because if they didn’t do that it would mean more disadvantages: ‘Probably, if they didn’t bring any new engine, that means the changes they brought won’t be very big, because if this new chassis, the new bike, can continue with the same engine, that means the change won’t be very big. Let’s try to have a good afternoon, draw our conclusions and see if this can be useful to us at the end of the season’.
