Joan Mir crossed the line second at Barcelona before a tyre pressure penalty stripped the result. But his warning to Honda was clear regardless. Mir said he has to take too many risks to achieve podium results on the Honda and that you cannot do it for 22 races every single lap. He added that Honda need to improve so he can ride with more margin and compete on equal terms. Mir has since confirmed he will leave Honda at the end of 2026.
