Alberto Puig insꦿists he has not ent෴ered talks with the unhappy Joan Mir over his Honda future.

Mir has endured a miserable experience since joining💫 Repsol Honda at the start of🅠 last year.

He has previously discussed a premature retirement and, more recently, has spoken about leaving when 🍸his contract expires at🌞 the end of the year.

Repsol Honda team boss Pꦫuig was asked if he has an update on Mir’s plans.

“No,” he said in Mugello. “Normally a🌃 rider, when things are not working, he gets a little bit…

“Of course, we fully understand he’s not happy.

“But for now, frankly speaking, we are trying to focus - all of us🧔, him, Luca, all of the team - on trying to fix the bike’s problems.

“So we still have not got to a discussion, regarding🅺 a renewal.

“Sooner or later - this month, this🍰 summer, June or July🌺 - we will have to make some decisions.

“We will go from there.”

Honda are ❀firmly stranded at the back of the grid.

Mir is 17th in the MotoGP standings after Mജugello.

His teammate Luca Marini, a new recruit this season to replace Marc Marquez, is struggling even 𝓡more so than Mir.

Marini is the only full-time rider without a single point this𒉰 season.

Mir has been linked with a move to Trac💃khouse, the Aprilia satellite outfit run by Davide Brivio.

Brivio🔯 worked with Mir during his Suzuki days, when he won the 2020 title.
