Joan Mir suffered a laceration to his hand in his crash out of the French Grand Prix
Honda’s Joan Mir had to get stitches on his hand after crashing at the MotoGP French Grand Prix on Sunday. Despite being the 2020 world champion, Mir has only finished one race on a Sunday out of five in 2026. He was performing well at Le Mans, qualifying seventh and finishing sixth in Saturday’s sprint race. However, he crashed out of Sunday’s main race on lap 20 while in sixth place. Mir explained that the crash occurred when he was trying to maintain temperature in his front tire. Although disappointed, he emphasized the importance of avoiding such incidents with their bike’s narrow margin between crashing and not.
