Joan Mir was feeling positive before th🐻e Australian MotoGP, but ultimately crashed out after suffering with an “unexpected” problem from the start.

While Mir’s Repsol Honda teammate Luca Marini left Aওustralia feeling as though the work he and his team had beeꦛn doing from the beginning of the year is finally paying off, such positivity was absent in the summary of the race from Mir.

“It was a nightmare,” Mir tol🗹d MotoGP.com after crashing out of the A♌ustralian Grand Prix with two laps to go.

“I didn’t understan🐭d what really happened, honestly. I struggled during all the race with some une𒆙xpected problem that I didn’t have during all the weekend.

“It’s ꦍthese days that you don’t know what to say, because I was optimistic, in the Warm Up my feelings were a lot better, and we work a bit on the details for t▨he race. “

Mir said ꦗthat it was a vibration that made his ra🍸ce so difficult, and one that is difficult to solve because he appears to be the only Honda rider who suffered from it in Australia.

“Then, ওin the race, I was not able to ride. I was having a huge amount of vibration on the bike.

“We don’t really understand from where we have the vibration, because it seems like I’m the only one and this is very dಌifficult.

“We will 🐎try to understand, this is the only thing that I can say: we will try to understand, we will work, and we will not give up.”
