Joan Mir, taken to hospital after a fall in the free session in Cheste

MADRID, 24 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Spanish MotoGP rider Joan Mir (Repsol Honda) has been transferred to a hospital in Valencia to have his cervical spine checked after suffering a serious fall during free practice this Friday for the Valencian Community Grand Prix, the last round of the Motorcycle World Championship.

As reported by his team, the Spaniard had to go to the Ricardo Tormo Circuit medical center “to have a check-up after the fall at Turn 9 that he suffered in the early stages of FP1.” “After his fall, Joan Mir will go to the Valencia Hospital to carry out more checks,” he later added.

From ‘DAZN’, holder of the World Cup broadcasting rights, they indicated that the 2020 world champion had a CT scan done at the circuit’s medical center for the pain he had in his cervical spine after his incident, but that it had not been completely “clear” and that is why they had transferred him to Valencia.
