Joan Mir ruled out of Friday practice at the Misano MotoGP
'Due to💦 continued intense gastroenteritis, Joan Mir ಞwill sit out today's action'
Repsol Honda’s Joan Mir will not be on track during Friday practice for the San Marino MotoGP at Misano.
The 2020 world champion, who skipped his Thurs🦩day media duties due to sickness, will sit out both Fr🏅iday sessions “due to continued intense gastroenteritis.”
Repsol Honda added that: “Hisꦐ condition will b💜e assessed again later.”
Missing Friday practice ends any chance of Mir replicating Johann Zarco’s Aragon feat of direct Qualifying 2 acܫcess, the first for a Honda rider this season.
Nonetheless, Mir’s lost 𓆉practice time will be partially mitigated by recent private tꦦesting knowledge at the track.
After this weekend, MotoGP will be st⛄aying at Misano for a Monday test - where HRC has major upgrades to try - before returning for a second ‘Emilia Romagna’ round on September 20-22.
Mir is currently 21st in the world championship, 3 places and 3 points behind top Honda rider Takaaki Nakagami (LCR).
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi coꦺme and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
