MotoGP, Joan Mir: “I’m not thinking about the championship, but about winning a race.”

Joan Mir can’t hide a hint of disappointment. He’s leading the World Cup for the first time, six points ahead of Quartararo, but he can’t help but think about what he’s missing, namely a win. There were eight different winners in ten races, but the table leader is missing from this list.

I honestly thought it was the right day to win. It wasn’t like that, but at least it was the right day to be first in the World Cup. I’m not angry, just a little disappointed“He didn’t hide it.

Adding to his regret is the fact that he saw a Suzuki on the top step of the podium: Rins’.

“He was smart about overtaking at the right time and he wore the front tire less in front,” explained Joan. “I felt good throughout the race, but my performance fell over the last few laps.”

At that point, he could only be satisfied with a podium that is worth gold for the ranking. But the Spanish driver doesn’t want to think much about the title. He has another problem.

How do you win this championship? By winning a raceHe said jokingly. “I’m very consistent, that’s true, and it seems like it’s the hardest part of the season, but At the moment I’m more interested in winning the championship. There may be other drivers for whom the title is more important, but I’m not going to change my approach to racing. It would be a mistake to think of defensive races. I will try to win. We’ll see how many points I get in the last two races, then I’ll think about it.

After all, it is not easy to make calculations when there are four drivers with fifteen points and there are still a hundred to be assigned. From this point of view, no one underestimates me.

“Many say my biggest rival is Quartararo, but he’s not the only one,” he warned.I always look to Dovizioso because if he finds something that he needs to improve, he has the experience of winning all the races. ”
