MotoGP: Joan Mir Walks Away Unhurt After High-Speed Crash Ahead Of Aragon GP Qualifying; Video

Honda HRC Castrol rider Joan Mir experienced a crash at Turn 2 of the Ciudad del Motor de Aragon circuit in Spain during the free practice session for the Aragon Grand Prix. The incident occurred as Mir was navigating the early stages of the session, leading to a temporary halt in proceedings while marshals ensured the track was safe for continuation.

Mir was able to walk away from the crash unaided, and initial assessments suggest that he did not sustain any serious injuries. This crash adds to a challenging season for the 2020 MotoGP World Champion, who has faced multiple setbacks, including a recent incident at the French Grand Prix where he suffered a fracture to his right hand following a collision with Francesco Bagnaia. Despite these hurdles, Mir has shown resilience, aiming to capitalize on circuits like Aragon, where he has previously enjoyed success.

The Aragon Grand Prix has historically been a favorable track for Honda riders, with the manufacturer securing multiple victories since the circuit's introduction to the MotoGP calendar in 2010. Mir's familiarity with the track and past performances had set expectations for a strong showing this weekend.

MotoGP: Jack Miller Crashes In The Tissot Sprint At The Thailand Grand Prix; Video

Australian MotoGP rider Jack Miller suffered a setback at the Thailand Grand Prix, crashing in the Tissot Sprint. The Prima Pramac Yamaha rider's impressive qualifying effort was undone when he suffered a disappointing crash on lap seven, forcing him to retire from sixth position.

In a previous crash at the Valencia Grand Prix, Miller slid off while leading the race, ultimately losing control of his bike. He also had a close call at the Malaysian Grand Prix, where he was involved in a scary crash with Brad Binder and Fabio Quartararo.

Miller's crash in the Tissot Sprint at the Thailand Grand Prix will undoubtedly impact his standings in the championship. As the MotoGP season continues to unfold, riders will be pushing themselves to the limit, and incidents like this serve as a reminder of the risks involved in the sport.
