Joan me: "This result means a lot, light at the end of the tunnel"

Joan ended the training for the last October 2024 Thai MotoGP in 19th place, where he then stayed in qualifying.

But the factory -Honda driver started the 2025 season in a much stronger form and took sixth place on the same racetrack on Friday, only 0.378 years behind Leader Alex Marquez (Ducati).

Although all four Hondas are the speed diagrams, the world champion in 2020 has the feeling that he finally has an RCV that he can push to the border and “can see the light at the end of the tunnel”.

“This result means a lot for us,” said me on Friday evening in Buriram. “We have to be very happy because you know what amount we have to struggle in the past two years.

“It wasn't easy. But we never gave up and even when nobody believed in us, we continued to work. And now we see the light at the end of the tunnel.

“There is still work to do, but the bike allows me to ride.

“I can push the front and start driving as I like. Brake super hard, go in with brakes, wear corner speed.

“It is true that we lose from the middle of the corner to the exit and we have the slowest bike on the net. Be [only] Three tenths behind a bike that is at least 5,000 slower on the straight is not easy! But that's why we have to be happy.

“Tomorrow, if we put together everything, we think we have enough speed to enjoy the race, and that's the most important thing.”

The enjoyment was difficult for me in the last MotoGP seasons.

After winning the MotoGP title in just his second year in Suzuki, I took six podium the following year, but since then missing in the rostrum.

This includes both earlier seasons at Honda, where fifth place in the Indian Grand Prix 2023 is its only top -tten -finish.

“I'm happy for my team [today]. I would also say happy for myself! “I smiled.

“Since it has been successful in this situation in the first part of my career, more than many drivers and then in the past two years, you can imagine that it was not easy.

“I [handled] It could be as best I could. We never gave up and saw some light. I am very happy about it. “

Joan me “take risks”, but “I understand what happens now”

On the popular explanation of why he is able to go faster with a bike that looks a handful of driving from the television pictures, said the Spaniard:

“I understand more what happens now. I feel the tires. I feel the connection to the engine. The bike turns a little better. It stops a little better.

“But the truth is that the engine is not better than last year and last year. That is our biggest problem now. We have to concentrate on it because I am sure that we can be very optimistic if we can improve this engine.

“I think we would be pretty solid in the Top 5 or Top Eight with a better engine.

“Now we have to take risks. A lot! Probably more than the others because we don't have the grip and acceleration. We have to compensate for the braking, the corner and the corner speed. “

I didn't know when Honda will provide his next engine update.
