Injured Joan Mir to miss San Marino Grand Prix after Austria crash
The former MotoGP champion lost control of his bike on a turn in the opening lap at the Red Bull Ring circuit before he was flung into the air, landing heavily on the gravel which resulted in a small fracture on his right ankle.
The Spaniard underwent further tests on Monday and has been advised to rest for 15 days. The San Marino Grand Prix takes place on the first weekend of September.
"Unfortunately, I will miss the Misano race, but I am confident I can return in Aragon (two weeks later)," Mir said in a statement.
"It's been a tough season, but I'm convinced that we'll come back stronger to bring more good moments to my team and to all of you who support me."
Mir, who won the championship in 2020, has endured a difficult season and sits 12th in the standings with no podium finishes and six retirements.
His future is also up in the air with Suzuki set to leave MotoGP at the end of the season due to financial constraints, but he has been linked with a move to Honda.
His teammate Alex Rins, eighth in the standings, will join Honda's satellite outfit LCR Honda in 2023.
