Joan Mir’s Australian MotoGP Woes: Unexpected Vibrations Lead to Frustrating Crash

Joan Mir described the Australian MotoGP as a "nightmare," expressing that he faced unforeseen issues throughout the entire race.

Joan Mir had a hopeful outlook ahead of the Australian MotoGP race, but he ended up crashing due to an unforeseen issue that arose right from the beginning.

As Luca Marini, who rides for Repsol Honda alongside Mir, departed from Australia with a sense of accomplishment, believing the efforts he and his team had invested since the start of the year were finally yielding results, Mir's report on the race lacked such optimism.

"It was a horrific experience," Mir expressed to MotoGP.com following his crash during the Australian Grand Prix just two laps before the finish.

"I honestly couldn't grasp what truly occurred. Throughout the entire race, I faced an unforeseen issue that hadn't surfaced at any point over the weekend."

"On days like these, finding the right words is challenging. I had been hopeful since my performance in the Warm Up felt much improved, and we focused on fine-tuning some aspects for the race."

Mir explained that a vibration issue was the main challenge during his race, and finding a solution is complicated since he seems to be the sole Honda rider experiencing this problem in Australia.

"During the race, I couldn't manage to ride properly because the bike was vibrating excessively."

"We're unsure about the source of the vibration, as it appears that I'm the only one experiencing it, which makes things quite challenging."

"Our aim will be to comprehend the situation; that's all I can state right now. We will make efforts and remain persistent in our endeavor."
