The Sachsenring is a unique circuit made up almost entirely of left-handers, and it exposes a machine's weaknesses without mercy. It's only natural Mir talks about what Honda needs to fix — if things don't add up through corner entry to exit, you lose time here in a hurry. A race that strips the RC213V's current state bare.

Miller pointing out weaknesses starts to sound like a rider's excuse too.

The Sachsenring's almost all left-handers, so it really exposes a bike's cornering ability.
