After a series of missed races due to illness, Joan Mir signals his comeback with a social media post ahead of the Malaysian GP.
According to Crash.net, Joan Mir, the 2020 MotoGP World Champion, has revealed his intention to return to racing at the upcoming Malaysian Grand Prix following a period sidelined by illness. Mir's health issues first emerged at the San Marino GP, where he reported operating at half his usual energy levels.
