MotoGp, Joan Mir’s ordeal: “I was going to stop.”

2020 world champion Joan Mir in Sepang suffered from compartment syndrome: “I will have surgery at the end of the season.”

Suzuki centaur Joan Mir finished 19th at the finish line in Sepang after a real ordeal, caused by the compartment syndrome suffered in his right arm. “I suffered from mid-race, lost all strength and feeling in my arm, couldn’t brake…”

“It can happen on this circuit, but it had never happened to me before,” said the 2020 MotoGp world champion. I had never had problems with my arm, now I want to see the doctor to prevent it from happening again, I can’t afford it. In the winter I think I will have surgery to solve the problem,” are the words reported by Motorsport. “I was going to stop, it can happen that the arm gets stiff but never at this level, it became completely numb.”
