Joan Mir on the wish list of Repsol Honda

According to Italian colleagues at GPone, Honda is working hard to lure Joan Mira to its MotoGP team. The Spaniard became the world champion with Suzuki in 2020, but last year he won third place in the overall standings with the reduced development of the motorcycle. Carlo Pernat, a commentator on GPone.com, says Mir could sign a contract with Honda for 2023 before the start of this season, in which the first star of the Japanese team, Marc Marquez, will probably miss winter testing again due to an optic nerve injury. "Honda wants to bring the winning racer to the team with all its might," says Pernat. "Fabio Quartararo and Joan Mir are on the wish list, but Mir will most likely get the place, as it costs less and is right for the job. An agreement will be reached very soon, I believe

A cruel blow to Marquez: Will the champion miss all the preparations for the season again?

MotoGP News

Now that it is known that Marc Marquez will miss the last motoGP race of the 2021 season and two days of testing in Jerez due to an optic nerve injury, questions are already arising as to how quickly he will return at all. After a severe blow when he broke his right arm in Jerez last year and returned only after almost nine months of recovery, a nerve injury in a fall with an enduro engine is another major obstacle for the eight-time world champion. The Honda star suffered a repeat of the injury from October 2011, when he fell badly during moto2 class training in Sepang and injured the same nerve as this time, and the injury kept the young Spaniard away from the engine for a good four months. It is a pure coincidence that in that season Marquez lost the title to Stefan Bradl, who is somewhat ironically replaced by this end on a Honda motorcycle.

MARQUEZ admits that he “does not currently enjoy” racing

MotoGP News

Marc Marquez admits he is not enjoying riding in MotoGP at the moment due to the physical limitations of his recovery from injury. The Honda driver fell hard in last year's race in Spain and broke his right arm. A too quick return to the tracks made his recovery difficult and thus he was absent for the entire 2020 season. After his return, he already scored a victory for the German GP and a second place in the last race in Aragon. The Honda racer has admitted several times that he can't drive the way he used to. "Now I'm racing, I'm trying to compete and I'm trying to improve my level, but I'm not enjoying it. At the moment it's true that I'm enjoying a few laps, in a few corners, but when the pain spreads I'm not enjoying it anymore. When I ride again without pain, the results will also come ,” Maruqez said. Marquez ruled out the possibility of a fourth operation
