Another in season test, another chance to find more speed – Joan Mir led the Honda HRC Castrol team through a productive Monday in MotorLand Aragon as temperatures rose and lap times dropped.
After achieving his best result of the season so far, Joan Mir was back on his Honda RC213V for a post-race Test in Aragon. Completing a total of 64 laps across the day, the #36 was able to try the new swing arm assessed by the Honda HRC Test Team as well as a number of setup options to improve performance. A best lap of 1’46.419 saw Mir end the single day of running in tenth place, seventh tenths back on Viñales. The time was some three tenths faster than his Q2 time from the weekend.
Now the true heart of the MotoGP season begins as seven double-headers will see out the rest of the year between June 20th, in Mugello, and November 16th in Valencia.
