‘We took a course that maybe wasn’t the best’ – Joan Mir

The day’s work in Barcelona was far from easy for Joan Mir, who admitted he was having trouble slowing the bike down at corner entry.

‘Today we took a course that maybe wasn’t the best, so tomorrow we will try different things. We are going hard with optimism and we will see what we can do tomorrow. We know what is causing the problems, the thing is that solving them is not being easy. I wasn’t expecting to get here and get it right away either, it’s something that needs some work, which is what we are doing. The issue is in corner entry, braking,’ explained the Majorcan at the end of FP2.

The Spaniard set the 16th best time of the day, some 1.2 seconds slower than the best lap time of Aleix Espargaro.
