highlighted at the German MotoGP this weekend (10\u201312 July).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Mir heads to Germany off the back of a double-DNF at Assen where he didn\u2019t finish a single racing lap and ended the weekend unsure as to why he fell in the grand prix on 28 June.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Spaniard was encouraged by the RC213V\u2019s performance in \u201csome of the tighter sections\u201d of the TT Circuit Assen layout, but the bike\u2019s performance on the side of the tyre is an area where improvement is needed, he thinks, for Sachsenring, where the majority of the lap is spent on the throttle at high lean angle on the left side of the tyre.<\/p>\n<figure> <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-06\/gng_1328777_hires.jpg?width=1920&amp;format=webp

performance on the side of the tyre is an area where improvement is needed, he thinks, for Sachsenring, where the majority of the lap is spent on the throttle at high lean angle on the left side of
