The partnership between Marc Márquez and Joan Mir will end in Valencia as the older of the Spaniards will leave Honda at the end of the season to join Nadia Padovani’s Gresini Racing. But there are several praises from the pilot from Palma de Mallorca to the older brother of the Márquez clan.
‘The truth is that our relationship is very good, I would say he is the best teammate I have ever had, the relationship is very good, we all go in the same direction when it comes to the development of the bike. We try to find the same things and besides, they are next to the best rider in the paddock’, described Mir to Mundo Deportivo.
Before joining Repsol Honda, Joan Mir partnered with Álex Rins at Suzuki, currently at LCR Honda, but who will switch to Yamaha in 2024.
