Jakarta –
Joan Mir is not overwhelmed despite the fact that he is a strong candidate to win the 2020 MotoGP world title. Evaluate whether this season is still extraordinary for him or not.
Mir claimed his first MotoGP 2020 victory after becoming the fastest in the European MotoGP series at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit, Valencia, on Sunday (11/8/2020) WIB afternoon. This victory made the Suzuki Ecstar even stronger at the top of the rankings.
He achieved 162 points, 37 points ahead of second and third place, namely Petronas Yamaha SRT rider Fabio Quartararo and his teammate Alex Rins, who accumulated 125 points. With two series remaining, Mir is one step away from winning the 2020 MotoGP world title.
This situation is like a double-edged knife for this 23-year-old. In addition to providing confidence, pressure also accompanies Mir to be the best.
Mir admitted that he was ready to face this pressure and focused on the last two sets. Also try not to be overwhelmed by this. The 2017 Moto3 champion insists that the world championship or not this season is still extraordinary for him.
“I think we have shown that pressure is not a big problem for us,” Mir said. Shock.
“We sure have pressure. We play with our lives and we have to really focus on what we’re doing.”
“It’s our job. Fortunately, I’m not really under pressure. This pressure has a good impact on me.”
“Because this year, if I win (the title), it will be very good for me. However, if I don’t win, it will also be a good year,” he explained.
Mir presents a fairy tale this season. At the beginning of this season, obviously no one thought that he would be a strong candidate to win the 2020 MotoGP world title.
Given, he failed to finish twice in all three series earlier this season in MotoGP Spain and the Czech Republic. All doubts for Mir then turned to admiration in the next series.
Consistency was the key for Mir to race to the top of the rider standings despite the fact that he had just won the first podium in MotoGP Europe (race 12). After the Czech Republic MotoGP, he only failed to get on the podium twice, the Styrian MotoGP (fourth place) and the French MotoGP (eleventh place).
We will wait, will Mir be able to maintain consistency in the last two series? At the same time, closing the extraordinary work of this season with a title.
