Joan Mir, out for the rest of the Aragon GP and for Japan

bad news for the 2020 world champion Joan Mir. After testing himself in the morning FP3, the Suzuki rider decided did not run in the Aragon GP this Sunday after suffering from problems with his right ankle caused after suffering a spectacular fall at the start of the Austrian Grand Prix race.

“Joan has withdrawn from the #AragonGP after suffering pain in his injured right ankle. He will also miss the next #JapaneseGP. We know that this decision was not easyand we all wish him a speedy recovery,” the Suzuki team wrote on their twitter account.

“I tried but there was no point in continuing. I don’t have the flexibility or sensitivity to drive properly. I also had less pain than expected. I was disappointed because I thought I could drive without problems, and after the first two training sessions I realized that this was not the case” explained the pilot.

“I rested all night and this morning I tried FP3, but the problems did not improve. Doctors and physiotherapists have advised me to rest, and I accept this decision. I feel sorry for the team who went out of their way to help me, as usual. Now the most important thing is to focus on coming back as soon as possible.”

After missing the last San Marino GP, the former world champion returned to Motorland ready to face the final stage of the championship with the highest ambitions, a goal that has now been cut short, because He will also miss the next race, the Japanese GP scheduled for next September 25.
