Joan Mir ruled out of Friday practice at the Misano MotoGP
'Due to continued intense gastroenteritis, Joan Mir will sit oꦐut 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 Thursday media duties due 🎀to sick🌌ness, will sit out both Friday sessions “due to continued intense gastroenteritis.”
Repsol Honda added that: “His condition will be as♒sess🍎ed again later.”
Missing Friday practice ends any chance of Mir re🍌plicating Johann Zarco’s Aragon feat of direct Qualify𓂃ing 2 access, the first for a Honda rider this season.
Nonetheless, Mir’s lꦍost practice time will be partially mitigated by recent private testing know🎶ledge at the track.
After t💦his weekend, MotoGP will be staying at Misano for a Monday test - where HRC has major upgrades to try - before returning for a second ‘Emili🐼a 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 Vale🐼ntino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
