Honda and Yamaha have been cagey about confirming the use of any revised engine specs this season, as now allowed under their revised MotoGP concession status.

But the Catalunya weekend began with Monster Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo admitting a slightly revised M1 spec was raced at Jerez and ended with Repsol Honda’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Joan Mir reveꩵaling a “different engine configuration” in Barcelona.

Unfortunately for Mir💙 and Honda, it was a case of making “one step back to make two steps forward in the future.”

“Honestly, a nightmare,” Mir said of hi🌞s race, after finishing💃 in 15th place, 33 seconds from winner Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati) and a fraction behind the top RC213V of LCR’s Takaaki Nakagami.

“I expected to struggle in this𝓰 track. We are using a different engine configuration and I don𝄹’t feel good with it. 

"The spin level p🐼robably is wor🥀se than the other [standard] one. And then the top speed is much less.

“So in the other races, I was able to be a lot closer to the top and fight with the grouꦑp around the top ten. Here I didn't have any option to do that.

“We've probably made one step back to make two steps forward in the future, but at the moment it's tough and the situation is like this.ও.. It’s ev🃏en worse.”

But the former world champion at least confirmed “the margin is higher” 🔯with the new engine configuration, after battling turning and traction problems so far this season.

“I think it's the right choice, but [this low grip track] is the worst scenario. Honestly, you are 🎉spinning for almost 90%♚ of the lap.

“Whatever tyre you put on the 🍌rear, you spin. This is a little bit our story at ﷺthe moment.

“But here is the worst scenario that we can have so𝔉 [Mugello] can just be bette🐻r.”

Mir was followed across the finish line by the Hondas of Johann Zarco and Repso๊l team-mate Luca Marini.

Zarco had new aero on his LCR bike this 🌺weekend, which Mir and Marini are yet to homologate.

Test rideꦉr and wild-card Stefan Bradl was 20-seconds further adrif📖t in 19th.
