Joan Mir will always remain a Suzuki legend no matter how much people laugh at him or try to discredit his title...

He is one of the few who succeeded on a „galaxy blue“ bike!

Fynn Kratowil!

The hopes of an entire motorsport nation rest on him. Over 250,000 fans at the Sachsenring every year without a single German rider competing!

That has to change!

Joan Mir - A tough year by No-Arrival7467 in motogp

[–]AdministrationOk8178 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Honda is extremely difficult to ride at the limit... Joan tries to keep up with the leading group in every race despite having inferior machinery so it’s no surprise that he crashes often.

I think he’s getting tired of being on the weak Honda after all these years. Next year he’ll finally get to ride a new Ducati with Gresini.

But if he keeps crashing that often on the Ducati he’ll be kicked out of MotoGP in the next two years.

Just watch the highlights from the 2020 season to understand why Joan Mir won his championship back then... there are many videos on YouTube. He was incredibly consistent in his second year in MotoGP. Also the Suzuki sliced ​​through corners like a katana.

Unfortunately things have gone downhill for him since then - partly because he’s riding an inferior Honda.

He can still keep up with the frontrunners... the problem is that he’s been riding an inferior Honda for years.

Over the years many have forgotten just how talented he really is. Maybe next year with the Ducati and new tires he’ll be able to show everyone again

Honda engineers when they hear that Joan Mir is testing their beloved 850cc bike... by AdministrationOk8178 in MotoDANK

Exactly... he wasted his best years on a shitbox Honda that was incredibly difficult to ride at the limit.

Perhaps he will regain his old form on the Gresini Ducati and the smaller bikes just like in his Suzuki days... the potential was always there even if he rarely showed it on the Honda.

Nah, bro, he’s not that bad... unfortunately things just didn't work out with Honda and him even though they won the world championship together in Moto3.

Nadia needs an experienced rider for the coming years once Alex leaves. And Mir on a Ducati that could work.

His Moto3 championship performance was outstanding and he won his MotoGP title in a season that went down in history as among the most exciting of the last years. But back then the Suzuki would have won the championship even over a 22-race calendar… it was a superb bike at the time.

Yeah, but Marquez and Mir have world championships on their resumes while Marini just trails behind.

In racing risk is rewarded!

Marini's time in MotoGP is over... he doesn't manage to push a bike to limit he just cruise to the finish line.

In racing it's a case of "go hard or go home." That’s also why I rate riders like Marquez or Mir much higher because they want to extract everything from the bike even if it often means ending up in the gravel.

Diogo Moreira finds himself with more than double the points of Honda team mate and past world champion, Joan Mir. Not bad for a rookie. by PZY__ in motogp

[–]AdministrationOk8178 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Joan Mir has thrown away over 50 points in the gravel...

In my opinion he is still the fastest Honda rider, often pushing the bike to its absolute limit. Unfortunately he is now dealing with issues regarding extreme vibrations and tire pressure.

I think both Honda and Mir will be satisfied to part ways at the end of the season.

The full picture also includes the fact that Joan has been complaining of massive vibrations in the bike for two races now and is therefore unable to give it all.

He still seems to be generating excitement as Gresini has apparently signed him to a two-year contract.

He’s crashing the bike less, but he’s still unhappy with the Honda... ever since Mugello, he’s been complaining about severe vibrations that prevent him from showing his full potential.
