Joan Mir, like team-mate Marc Marquez, crashed out before the midway stage of the Indonesian MotoGP at Mandalika.
But some of the lap times set by Mir as he rose from 19th on the grid to 11th pointed to a ‘good improvement’: “I was able to ride fast - not for a lot of laps, but fast.”
“I made a good start, but then with Morbidelli and was probably one of the last in that moment.“I started to make mid-‘31s in that part of the race. And if you check the only one that was doing better lap times, by a couple tenths, was Martin.”“So that was a good improvement,” Mir continued. “I'm quite happy for it. But it's also true that we are very, very on the knife edge and is what it is.
“Maybe if we go to the tracks with more stop-and-go, we struggle less, as in Motegi or India. But in Malaysia we will struggle the same.”“Normally hot temperature for our bike is not very good. We spin a lot. So in Phillip Island we will not have that problem!” he smiled.
