Nothing is going well for Joan Mir since Suzuki announced on the evening of the Jerez tests that its involvement in MotoGP would end at the end of this year. In Austria, this weekend, he seems to have been reassured about his future for 2023 and beyond with an upcoming contract with Repsol Honda. What to get him out of his bad situation? Nope. Not only is it still relevant, but it's getting worse now with the pangs of the injury. It must be said that the fall was violent...
Looking at the images, it's a Repsol Honda crash that Joan mir suffered in this Austrian Grand Prix who recorded his sixth retirement in nine consecutive races and his fifth fall in seven Grands Prix contested this year. In this regard, he is doing as badly as his current teammate alex rins last year... But unfortunately for the 2020 World Champion, this accident in Styria could well cost him a good part of the rest of the season...

Joan Mir: “la chute aurait pu très mal se terminer"
The Majorcan comments: “ I had a violent fall at turn 4. I lost the back and got a highside. The fall could have ended very badly, it was scary. Initial examinations revealed fractures in the right ankle ". Further examinations will determine whether the Spanish of 24 years old will be fit for the Grand Prix of Misano in two weeks, a site which will then host two days of testing: “ On Monday I will have several checks and an MRI to check the ligaments in my foot ", Explain Mir.
His teammate alex rins finished eighth on Sunday. Nothing to console a team Suzuki who knows the moment of his end and who deserves to end his adventure other than with drama and disappointment.
