Honda HRC Castrol continue working in Aragon
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.
Joan Mir
“Positive today, trying a few things to make some progress, be more competitive and find some more grip. I don’t think we have had a revolution today, but we certainly found some good steps and I think we were able to gain in acceleration as well. We also tried some things with the electronics, a good use of a day like today. As a rider you always want more and of course there are parts and areas we need to keep working on. But, coming into today I wanted to make progress with acceleration or top speed, and we have done that, so I leave here happy.”
