Joan Mir has vented his anger with “missile” Alex Marquez after a tangle in th🐟e MotoG💛P Japanese Grand Prix and says “you have to think a bit more on the bike”.

The Honda rider was trying to recover from 17th on the grid when Alex Marquez - who started 10th - collided with the rear of Mir’s bike at Turn 12 on the opening lap, having r🅰un wide ꦐat Turn 11 seconds before.

The incident took both riders out of the race and was placed under investigation by the FIM stewards, who de🏅emed Marquez was at fault and handed him a long lap penalty to be served at the next grand prix he competes in.

T🀅hat isಞ currently scheduled to be the Australian GP.

In his Spanish language debrief on Sunday, Mir was reported by&♏nbsp; as saying: “In Turn 11 Alex went long, and going into Turn 12 he hit me from behind, without thinking, almost like a missile.

“You have to think a bit🉐 more on the🃏 bike. It's free to ruin other people's races.

“I'm more angry about the sportiꦏng result than about getting hurt.”

When Mir spoke to the media it was before the stewards made their ruling, though the delay in an outcome for something the Honda rider felt was a blatant con🧸travening of the rules also a𝓰ngered him.

“I'm waiting for Race Direction [the stewards] to make a pronouncement - they may be sleeping or eating,” he s✅aid sarcastically before the penalty to Marquez was handed out.

At the time Mir was also unhappy that M🎀arquez hadn’t apologised to him, noting “it's not the first time something like this has happened to me with him.”

“I was doing well, I was maki🍸ng a comeback until Aꦦlex decided to end my race.”

“This is not a racing incident. Whꩵen you have a driver in front of you and you hit him without thinking, it's not a simple racing incident.”

Alex Marquez h🐻as since said that he has been to apologise to Mir, but alꦆso took umbrage to the penalty he received.

The Gresini rider feels the stewards have not been consistent, 👍pointing to the fact that Jack Miller wasn’t given the same penalty for triggering the multi-rider pile-up at Turn 3 of the Indonesian GP last week.

Miller accepted blame for this incident but didn’t actually collide witꦫh anyone: he crashed on his own in the group and his bike collected the riders, including Marquez, around him.

The stewards determi✃ned on tha🤡t occasion that it was a racing incident.
