MotoGp, Joan Mir gets his bike back from Danilo Petrucci. And pawing

Joan Mir is looking forward to racing again at Phillip Island

MotoGp returns to Australia’s Phillip Island circuit on Sunday, Oct. 16, after a two-year stop due to the pandemic.

Similarly, there is also talk of a return for Joan Mir, who, pending a final fitness test, will return to racing in Australia after a long layoff due to injury, and the Majorcan is looking forward to getting back on his GSX-RR. He has only raced at Phillip Island once in the premier class, on his debut in 2019, where he finished an excellent fifth. But it is a track he likes and on which he has won in the smaller classes.

The Suzuki rider spoke this way ahead of the Australian GP: “I’m very happy to finally be back with the team; it feels like I’ve been out for a long time because of the ankle injury and I really didn’t want to miss any more races. All the checks seem to indicate that the ankle is healing well, so I hope not to be in too much pain this weekend. Phillip Island makes me very happy and I’m looking forward to trying it again with the GSX-RR.”
