Absent from the last four races, Joan Mir will try to return to the race at the Australian Grand Prix.
Injured to his right heel after a violent fall during the Spielberg race on 21 August, Joan Mir hasn’t appeared on the grid since. Absent at Misano two weeks later, he was back on track at the MotorLand Aragon on the weekend of 18 September, but the pain was too great. Which also made him give up the events of Motegi and Buriram.
A month and a half after his accident, the 2020 world champion has just had an encouraging electromyography. He will then make the trip to Phillip Island with the intention of participating in the Australian Grand Prix, from 14 to 16 October. All he has to do is get the green light from the doctors when he arrives on the circuit.
“Things seem to have returned to normal and I am happy with the results obtained during the last examsJoan Mir rejoices. The wound seems to heal, the efforts made finally seem to bear fruit. I’m not 100% yet, but I feel it’s time to go back because the situation is much better than in the previous weeks. I want to play these last three games with my team. So I hope I feel good enough to be able to drive. “
His team manager, Livio Suppo, is too “I am very happy that Joan can meet us at Phillip Island. Even though we received support from friendly substitutes, we clearly felt her absence. It will be nice to see him on this bike again. We will do everything to make him comfortable with her and allow him to enjoy one of her favorite circuits..
Joan Mir’s last three races this season will also be the last three for Team Suzuki Ecstar, which will disappear at the end of 2022 following manufacturer Suzuki’s decision to retire from MotoGP.
