THE Sling it is clearly the worst bike on the MotoGP grid and all the tests they do are not working. No improvement is expected. Joan Mir He is very pessimistic. So much so that he does not hesitate to give his own team a hard blow.
He did it for Grand Prix of Emilia-Romagnaasked about the biggest weak point of his bike: “It’s not that Honda has a specific weak point, but that we don’t have a strong one.”
The distance to the Ducati at the front of the grid is enormous.: “The biggest difference with the Ducatis is the traction, the acceleration. They reach their maximum speed much earlier than us. And that’s due to a combination of factors.”
And he believes the only solution is for Honda to make a “new bike”:We need a new motorcyclebig things, different engines to try. And at the moment, it’s not coming. At Suzuki, we’ve been improving little by little, with small parts that we’ve incorporated, but it was because the base was good. That’s not the case with Honda.”
Johann Zarcohis teammate simply does not understand what path the brand is taking: “It is this Honda policy that is sometimes difficult to understand.”
Since he left Marc Marquez Honda does not raise its head. Very far from the best bikes and with a very worrying short-term future. Mir no longer has any problem in publicly criticizing the work of the team.
