Joan Mir joined Repsol Honda in MotoGP in 2023 in a context of great competitive difficulties for the manufacturer. In 2024, many changes will occur – in the bike and beyond – with the goal of returning to success as soon as possible.
Quoted in Motosan, the rider from Palma de Mallorca commented: ‘For sure something is changing. But usually, when such big changes are made in a company, you need a couple of years to understand whether these changes work or not. It’s like a gamble’.
Marc Márquez left to pursue better results with another manufacturer. Mir emphasized that time is also running out for him: ‘We need a change. Honestly, I have some more time than Marc, but not much more. So, we’ll see’.
