Spanish Grand Prix: A good performance on the weekend helped Joan Mir as he extracted the maximum from the Spanish Grand Prix as he gained eight places after battling back to 12th place finish in the latest race of the MotoGP Championship 2024. His teammate at the Honda Team, Luca Marini will aim to look for answers during Monday’s test at the Circuito de Jerez – Angel Nieto.

Record-breaking weekend crowds of 300,000 were treated to another Spanish Grand Prix for the history books on Sunday. With blue skies and not a hint of Saturday’s rain, Joan Mir was determined to repeat his forward progress from the Sprint and end a complicated weekend on a high. Starting well, the #36 moved from 20th to 16th in the space of a single lap and maintained a steady pace further into the points, the Honda Team informed in a release on Monday.

Locked in a battle with Raul Fernandez for most of the race, Mir crossed the line in 12th and just under a tenth of a second from his best result of the season so far. The 2020 World Champion was full of praise for the Honda Team, which worked diligently throughout. His attention immediately turns to continuing to find improvements in testing.
