It is a battalion of three French pilots who will land this weekend in the land of treacherous Albion: the official Suzuki pilot, still suffering from his fall at the Czech Republic GP, will be replaced by the French Sylvain Guintoli for the battle of England… Explanations.

“Joan Mir will not take any risks and will focus on his full recovery for the next Grand Prix,” said the official Suzuki MotoGP team this morning.

Joan Mir "could not recover 100% of his pulmonary contusion", specifies Suzuki: he suffers from a "general feeling of weakness due to the lack of training since his accident".

“After the tests we performed, we detected a remnant of residue in his lungs,” said Dr. Angel Charter: “For safety reasons, we feel that the best thing to do is not to come back all of it. He must recover his lung capacity and strengthen his general condition after several weeks of inactivity. He can start walking, running, exercising in the mountains and a few moderate rides on a motorcycle. ".

"It’s a shame that Joan also misses the Silverstone race (after the Red Bull Ring race), but we think it is very important for him to fully recover and regain 100% physical form" , said team manager Davide Brivio: "after discussing with the doctors following the checks he carried out today, we decided together that he would miss the British Grand Prix and recover to the bike next week. The Misano test will be an excellent opportunity for him to check his physical condition, to find his bike calmly and to prepare for the next Grand Prix. We hope that for the race weekend in Misano, Joan will be 100% recovered and ready to restart her season ".

"I won’t be able to be at Silverstone for the next race and it’s a shame, but that’s the way it is and the top priority has to be my health," said Joan Mir. “After the accident I spent several weeks resting, first in the hospital and then at home. I started to walk, but after the tests it seems that I am not yet 100%. The doctors therefore preferred that I continue my rehabilitation. I will start to train more so that I can participate in the next race with better physical shape and not having to take too many risks. I want to thank the people who are at by my side and who take care of me, my Suzuki team for their concern and the thousands of fans who have encouraged me during all these days and who have shown me immense affection. See you soon! "

We wish good luck to Sylvain who has already competed in two races this year, with one and one .
