Mir to miss Austria

Joan Mir has withdrawn from this weekend's Austrian MotoGP,  following 𒀰168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Monday's big accident at the Bꦗrno post-race test.

The Suzuki rookie required trackside assistance after the 'scary' incident, before being mov🌠ed to the circuit’s Medical Centre, where he was diagnosed with🗹 a pulmonary contusion and transported by helicopter to Brno Hospital.

Mir has been kept under observation and 'despite the fact that he didn’t suffer major injuries, his lungs are still inflamed, and they will require proper rest to recover'.

“It's such a shame to miss this race following th🗹e incident in the Brno Test," Mir said. "It was a big crash and I was transferred to the hospital for further checks because I rolled through the gravel many times and took a lot of hits. At the beginning I struggled to breathe because of the pulmonary contusion, but step by step I improved and now I’m feeling better."

On his return to Spain, Mir will head to the Clinica Dexeus in B🅺arcelona for further checks before returning home to Andorra to rest and heal, attempting to be fully fit for the following Silverstone round. 

"The next thing is to go to the Hospital Dexeus where I will undergo some more me𝄹dical checks so I can be assurꦇed that everything is alright, then I will head home to recover and restart my training. It’s a big pity because I was feeling really good with the bike and we were completing a fantastic test," Mir said.

"Now I have to think day by day, try to recover, and aim to be 100% for Silverstone. I want ꦐto keep up my moꩲmentum with the bike and continue growing in the top class.

"I must thank all the people🌞 who looked after me; from the Clinica Mobile, to the circuit medical staff, Brno hospital, and all the team members. Thanks🧔 also to all the fans who have sent lots of positive and supportive messages.” 

Suzuki will not replace Mir, meaning Alex Rins will be its only rider at the Red Bull🔜 Ring.

“Spielberg is a really different layout to Brno, and it’s possib💟le that we might struggle a little bit on the long straights and the hard braking, but the bike has evolved a lot since last year and the new fairing we have with the new aerodynamic package is really good, I’m certain that will help us in Austria," Rins said.

"I’m looking forward to the race weekend and I hope I can bring home a good result for the team. I want to send my best wishes to my team-mate, Joan, and hope to see him back soon.” 

“Austria is really different to any other circuit o♏n the calendar, and because of that you need a special set-up there," added Rins crew chief Ma🍒nuel Cazeaux. "The key point is that the majority of the time is spent with the bike straight - both on acceleration and under braking.

"The riders don’t have the bike leaned over much and Sector 2 is the only place where they’re really turnin♚g the bike. It’s not easy because you need to sacrifice some of the cornering capabilities when you’re optimising the bike for good straight-line performance. ]

"Another key ar⭕ea is aᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚnti-wheelie, because you need to get the best possible drive." 

Like Mir, Repsol Honda's Jorge Lorenzo&n𒈔bsp;hopes to return from injury at Silverstone.
