Joan Mir has not ruled out the possibility of racing Honda\u2019s 2024 MotoGP prototype in the remaining rounds of the 2023 season following the Misano test this week.
When asked by Motorsport.com if his impressions of the bike were the same as his team-mate’s, Mir noted: “Well, in some areas we improved. For sure, we didn’t make a big step, we are far from it.
“I could feel a little bit better with used tyres especially, I was able to be a bit more consistent.“I still cannot say if it will be the way we take for next year because we need to put everything on point. But if we want to be where we want, we need a bit more help.”Given the new chassis could be used with the current Honda engine, Mir didn’t rule out the prospect of racing the frame for the remainder of 2023.
“This is something I still don’t know, because I don’t know at the end of the day what will be my decision from it,” he said of racing the new frame in 2023.Mir added that Honda’s main issue of rear grip was “slightly better” on the new chassis, as was its braking and turning capabilities. Marquez and Mir’s next test of the bike is set to be in November in Valencia, but the latter is not convinced that if a new engine is finally introduced it will be a big change.
“Well, every help will be very, very welcome,” he replied when asked if he was surprised Honda hadn’t brought a new engine to the Misano test.
