After being taken out of the last three Grands Prix, Joan Mir has a theory as to why he is always on the receiving end of incidents.

Joan Mir finds himself in a run of three DNFs across the last three Grand Prix weekends, but none of the crashes have been his fault.

The Honda HRC Castrol rider failed to finish the Dutch TT, the German Grand Prix and this weekend the Czech Republic Grand Prix.

However, in all three races, he was caught up in incidents that were not his fault as he was taken out by Fermin Aldeguer, Ai Ogura and Alex Marquez.

At Brno, Mir found himself inside the top ten and in a steady rhythm, before being wiped out by the younger Marquez brother on the second lap.

"I made a good start to the race and was there with the leading group in the first laps," Mir said.

"I was confident in my pace and had everything under control early in the race. Alex had tried to overtake me a couple of times earlier in the lap, and I had already felt some contact in the rear.

"Then in the chicane he lost the front, and he touched me, and I finished on the ground. There’s nothing more to say about it."

Mir has explained that he believes one of the reasons he is at the end of so many incidents is because of the Honda's lack of top speed, which causes rivals to attack under braking.

"I don’t believe in bad luck," Mir said.

"I think we are in a situation where we are fighting against other bikes that go another 5-10k faster on the straight.

"So they catch up and think they can overtake in the braking area. Then I always brake strong, because it’s where I can recover time, but they are optimistic, release the brakes and this happens.

"This has been happening in the last races, something similar again today and will happen again in the future if we don’t make a step.

"The best way to avoid situations like this is to be faster, this is what we have to work on as a team."
