Joan Mir says that a “hard” for Honda in Italian Motogi was below the Mugelo circuit characteristics on Friday, which did not allow HRC riders to take advantage of strong points of RC 213 V.
Mir Mugelo had the best kept Honda in practice, but only the 16th fastest, one place was ahead Johan Zarko Which was only two races on the podium in drought in the first silverstone.
2020 Motogp World Champion 1: 45.652 meant that HRC was unable to be within a second of the fastest time of practice, 1: 44.634 by KTM Maveric WelinsAnd he explained that it was down to layout in Mugelo, which was not playing with the strength of RC213V.
“This track does not allow us to reveal the strength of our bike,” Zone Mir Said.
“Long corners of high angle, actually straight straight where the top speed is important.
“So this is a difficult Friday honestly.
“We need to think about what we can do in the rest of the weekends because we cannot benefit under braking like other tracks.
“It is a good test to display what we need, so we try and collect as much information as possible for engineers to plan for the future.”
Mir’s stand-in teammate (in the absence of injured Luka Marini) Honda HRC Castrol, Takki nakagamiThe practice was 20th, which he said that he was below his ambition.
“Of course, I was expecting a better result today, but it is a difficult circuit for Honda at this time,” said Naqagami.
“There are some things that I think I can improve my ride so that Mir can stop more differences, but I will spend this evening to check data and some footage.
“In the morning I liked it with medium [compound rear tyre]But soft is what I am not familiar with testing, so there is a better balance to find. ,
