Joan Mir cut a frustrated figure du𒐪ring day-one of the Austrian MotoGP as braking issueཧs meant the Suzuki rider struggled to complete a time attack. 

He described doing a time attack as ‘the worst moment’, while never before encountering the type of braking issues as he endured to🤪day.&nb💙sp;

"Honestly at the moment I don’t know what is the problem but it was difficult in FP1 when I wa🍸nted the time attack; the worst moment," said Mir.  

"The problem was that 🐽the lever was coming to my hand in the middle of the lap and in the last two sectors I could not 𝄹brake. 

"So we 🤡have to understand the problem, and why. In FP2 it was more for the temperature and some locks on the front due to this type of ♏problem. 

"I was angry because I couldn’t complete one lap. I was going wide and aꦐlmost crashing and I was not riding comꦇfortably. That’s why I was angry. 

"We’ve nꦐever had any problem with the brakes b🥃ut its’ just that this track is really critical and there is always a bit of trouble to adjust. It was today so I hope tomorrow we will fix it."

The braking troubles come as a surprise given his outstanding performance at 🐈the same circuit last weekend - also over hisꦍ career as it’s statistically been his best venue. 

But with that said, it wasn’t a ‘bad day’ by any means for the defendi𓃲ng champion as Mir was second fastest i💎n the dry conditions of FP1. 

Instead🐈, it was the struggles in full wet conditions that would perhaps be a cause for concern. 

The S🙈paniard was around three seconds off the top times🌌 that were being set by Marc Marquez, Iker Lecuona and Jack Miller. 

On one of the fast laps set bℱy Marquez, the Repsol Honda rider madꩲe a move on Mir at the final corner which seemed to disturb the Suzuki man.

There wasn't any cont⭕act between the two, but Mir was less than impres♌sed and ‘didn’t understand a lot this manoeuvre’.  

Mir added: "He decided to overtake me on the l🍃ast corner like it was the last corner 🃏of the race! I didn’t understand a lot this manoeuvre. 

🙈"I understand it is his style during the races, it’s OK and even more than this no? 

"But I don’t think it was necessary to take the position on▨ this line. I was a bit surprised. Nothing more to say."
