The Suzuki rider was up to 𝓡sixth place, from eighth on the grid, when he was thrown into a huge highside from his GSX-RR.

“I made a good start; I was able to gain some positions and p✃ut myself in the f꧋ront group," said the 2020 world champion.

"But the💛n at Turn 4, I lost the rear on corner entry and I suffered a very big crash. I feel🌜 lucky because it could’ve been a lot worse, it was a scary one.

"Initial checks show some bone fragments and fractures in my 🎀ankle - the fracture doesn’t look big but the fragments could be a problem.

"Tomorrow I’ll go for ℱsome further tests, such as an MRI scan to check the ligament situation.

"After that,🙈 I should know more about my recovery time and I can plan my ♎comeback.”

Sunday's accide﷽nt continues a torrid run for Mir, who has suffered six DNFs in the last nine races, leaving him twelfth in the s𓂃tandings and without a podium finish.

With Suzuki quitting MotoGP, the #36 is set to join Repsol Honda next season, although the move is yet t꧂o be off🐟icially announced.

Mir now has until September 2-4 to be fit for the next round at Misano, which i🔯s followed by a two-day test.

Team-mate Alex Rins finished eighth on Sunday.

"This race was one we markꦏed on the calendar as being a tough one for us," Rins said. "I got into ninth place behind Za☂rco and I had a stronger rhythm than him, but I found it very hard to overtake him on the brakes. I was also losing a bit on the drive out of the corners.

"In the end I got eighth, but we took a lot of information𓂃 and data today, the feedback is going to be really important for the next roundsꩲ. Misano is next up and that place suits us better! I wish Joan the best after his scary crash.”
