The 4.42 kilometer track has produced great moments like Doohan vs. Criville, Rossi vs. Gibernau, Marquez vs. Lorenzo and many more. Honda has won the Spanish Grand Prix in the premier class on 25 occasions, first in 1983 and most recently in 2019.
Leaving Austin with a double DNF, Joan Mir is eager to get back to the form he showed in the opening two races of the year and continue to maximize his performance throughout the weekend. The Jerez circuit provides another contrasting track in the opening stakes of the MotoGP season for Mir and the Repsol Honda team to test the RC213V machine in search of improvements.
“I think coming to a race like Jerez where you have all the home fans to support you will help after our tough weekend in Austin.It's important we put this behind us and keep working like we did at the beginning of the year to understand the potential of the bike this weekend.
“We are realistic about what is possible, and we need to focus on improving and aiming for more in the future. It's about making steady progress, step by step, and we are at this stage Can't expect a big jump," said Joan Mir.
Like his teammate, Luca Marini arrives in Spain in search of more. The Italia was able to finish both races in the US but is focused on moving forward and continuing to fight for top Honda honors.
“This is another weekend to keep working with the team and aim for even more improvement.Now is not the time to stop working, we have to keep gathering information and try to not only improve our current package but also work on future developments. Jerez is a good track for this kind of work, the test team has done a lot of testing here and will be with us this weekend so it will be interesting for me to see what we can learn from it,” said Luca Marini. .
At this stage, I needed more bike time and more information to make it work. Marini's best finish at the Spanish Grand Prix is sixth place in the premier class, achieved in 2023.
Stefan Bradl and the HRC test team will be involved this weekend as the fifth Honda RC213V the team will test regularly at Jerez throughout the year.A one-day post-race test will take place after the Grand Prix on Monday.
