‘Conditions started to get worse and it was probably the right decision’ – Joan

Joan Mir did not have a less than positive weekend in Australia, showing once again many difficulties in riding his Honda. In yesterday’s race he ended up seeing a crash spoil potential points win, thus ending the race early.

Today, in a debrief after the cancellation of the sprint, Joan Mir showed that he agrees with the decision not to hold the sprint, as the conditions worsened throughout the morning:

– Well, let’s say it was the expected Sunday, no? Honestly this morning we tried the track with the conditions in full condition, but it was already complicated, but we could drive. Then the conditions started to get worse and it was probably the right decision to cancel the sprint. We have to get ahead.

The 2020 world champion also said that in Thailand he hopes to be able to demonstrate the full potential of his Honda, with the help of the positive aspects he took from the Australian GP:

– The weekend we had wasn’t the best, but we managed to take something positive for the following races. I think in Thailand we can again show our potential and thank you all for your support.
