MotoGP Aragon J2, hard blow for Joan Mir but he was warned: "the doctors told me not to come"

The fall at the Austrian Grand Prix was decidedly anything but insignificant for Joan Mir who thought she would put it in the bad memory department at this meeting in Aragon. His doctors warned him that it was not the best idea and the Suzuki rider realized that they knew their stuff. He tried this Saturday morning after suffering on Friday, but it was beyond his strength. So much so that he will already ignore Japan. He should try to return to Thailand…

Joan mir is already back at home after realizing that his doctors could give good advice… “ The doctors told me not to come here, but I felt better and I thought I could ride at 100% » comments the 2020 World Champion. « On Friday I realized it wasn't like that, I wanted to rest at night but realized it wouldn't be enough. I don't play a song and therefore it makes no sense to continue he says. " The most important thing is to find the best condition. I hope to do it again at the Thai Grand Prix, but before that I need to do a check-up ».

**Joan Mir: “ I expected to feel much better »**

« I don't feel like I expected », he admitted after finding that he was unable to take off from the back of the peloton. “ I have difficulty using the rear brake. It's a big problem. I also have problems on right turns. To turn the bike, I put my foot in a different position than I normally do. This results in a different riding style that doesn't really work. And I'm tired », added the Majorcan. “ It's hard. We've worked pretty hard to get in the best shape possible herei. I expected to feel much better. I don't feel very well at the moment ».

The team manager Livio Suppo, Racing Consultant added : " of course we feel sorry for Joan. We knew he was looking forward to the race. But safety is paramount and doctors have decided in his best interests that he should not compete in the Aragon Grand Prix. We hope he can return to Thailand ».
