Joan Mir led Honda’s strong performance at the MotoGP test in Sepang by putting his bike into the “156 club”—meaning he was one of the riders to reach a lap speed of 156 mph—before rain forced the session to end early.
Rainy weather cut testing short, but not before Mir showed that Honda has made progress with its bike.
His fast lap highlighted improvements in speed and performance, giving the team positive momentum as they continue to prepare for the upcoming season. Other riders were unable to better Mir’s pace due to the weather interruption, but the overall result was an encouraging sign for Honda’s development.
