Joan Mir had a ridiculous episode during the second quarter in Misano and after changing the front tire on the bike he noticed a message on the dashboard of his GSX-RR when he extended it again and when he came back he noticed this afterwards was all on Mistake the team made, but not on purpose.
The reigning world champion spoke to journalists on the subject: “I had some problems with the tire during my first outing in Q2, I was in the garage to change the front tire, I don’t know, we have to analyze it carefully. Then we changed the tire, I went out on the track and I got a message from the garage on the dashboard of the motorcycle and it was there the whole lap so I decided to stop because I didn’t know if there was something wrong with the tire or if there was a mechanic. I had a problem and decided to stop.
Upon arrival in the garage, the # 36 recognized that it was a mistake that was limiting its performance: “In retrospect, this message was not correct, it was simply a wrong message and that required the entire qualification. I’m disappointed, but I know the team will understand what happened and then we’ll fix it, I’m sure. “
However, explained to me that the mistakes can happen and no one is sure of doing it:
– I need to understand what happened, but it was a message that the team put on the bike without realizing it was there. It’s a shame because when you have a driver behind you, you have no problem and leave, but if there’s a message it’s because you have to go to the garage and it was a shame. The team is also disappointed with this mistake and I fully understand the situation because it is not my fault, but I believe we will have the solution and if I make mistakes, you can too.
