Joan Mir escapes serious injury but “in a lot of pain” after colliding with Fermin Aldeguer’s bike in the Dutch MotoGP.
Joan Mir’s Dutch MotoGP race took a painful turn when he got involved in the aftermath of a major crash caused by rookie Fermin Aldeguer’s highside.
The Gresini team faced more drama as Alex Marquez collided with Pedro Acosta, resulting in Marquez fracturing his hand, jeopardizing his standing in the MotoGP world championship.
Mir’s teammate Aldeguer was violently ejected from eighth place at Turn 11, forcing fellow rider Fabio Quartararo to swerve onto the grass to avoid the debris.
Unfortunately, Mir couldn’t evade the collision and crashed into Aldeguer’s Ducati after narrowly missing Quartararo.
Thankfully, both Mir and Aldeguer escaped serious injury, with Mir expressing relief that his teammate was okay and reflecting on his promising start in the race.
Mir, now nursing injuries, will have a two-week break before returning for the German MotoGP at Sachsenring, hoping to race alongside Luca Marini, who is currently undergoing fitness assessments following a recent Superbike crash.
