Physical pain and bleak future laid bare by struggling Joan Mir at Honda
“I have no idea how long my body can take this."

Joan Mir has 🍌offered 🐲a damning indictment of his time at Honda.
Physical pain and bleak future options to move teams were noted by the 2020 MotoGP champion.
Mir, in his second season with Repsol Ho﷽ndaജ, is 18th in the MotoGP standings.
Last year, he publicly discusse♈d the possibility of retiring af🦄ter a crash-strewn season.
His new teammate Luca Ma🎃rini has 𒊎so far been unable to tame the RC213V, and is the only full-time rider with zero points after five rounds.
Mir was asked how long he is williꦕng to wait for Honda to address the diffi🅘culties he faces.
"I have no idea,” he told .🌞 “👍I say that and I am completely honest.
“I have no idea how long my body can take this.
“I thou♈ght I wasn🌌't going to make it this far, and here I am.
“I'm trying to do my job as best I can, trying to be in front of everyone, tr💟ying to do good races, but you can't expect miracles."
Mir also insisted that several riders have become less attrꦅactive to new teams, after they join Honda.
ꦏ“The reality is that whoever leaves Honda in the last few years does worse than when they come in,” Mir said.
"That's the reality and🌠, besides, there is no exception, nobody leaves Honda better than they came in.
“You🃏 have to deal with this situation as best you can and try to see what I feel like doing. That 🔯is the issue.”
Mir’s contract with Hon🌟da expires at the⛎ end of this year.
Trackhouse - run by his old boss at Suzuki, Da𓃲vide Brivio - are an opt🌺ion for 2025.
“Contacts between the parties have been initiated,” 𝔉;report about Mir and Trackhouse.
Mir was downbeat about incoming offers if he does quit H❀onda.
“I am convinced that we will have options, not the ones I would like♊, probably not, but we will have options,” he said.
“We are still giving gas and I amꦕ convinced that with a competitive bike we꧑ will be at the front in no time.”
This weekend’s Catalunya MotoGP is the next chance fo♎r Mir to get to grips with his troublesome machine.
