Joan Mir has revealed that vision problems and associated chronic fatigue were behind his absence from MotoGP race action for the past six weeks. The 2020 world champion withdrew from the San Marino GP in mid-September following extreme fatigue and adverse blood tests, missing 44 days from the paddock across multiple overseas rounds.
With little official information during his recovery, paddock speculation ran high regarding his condition. Upon returning to the paddock ahead of the Malaysian Grand Prix, the Honda rider opened up about the mysterious health issue without going into excessive detail.
"I'm so happy to be back," Joan Mir told The Race regarding his condition. "As you can imagine. It's been a period that I simply needed to stop, because I had some vision problems that at the beginning we didn't really know what was happening."
He explained that the extreme tiredness he experienced was directly linked to his vision struggles, which progressively worsened during the first half of the season. After starting treatment with MotoGP medical director Doctor Charte and undergoing numerous tests, the root cause was finally understood, allowing him to complete a full treatment plan during weeks of rest at home.
Now armed with answers and feeling significantly better, Joan Mir is ready to return at 100% at Sepang alongside teammate Luca Marini, restoring the factory Honda squad to a full two-rider lineup for the weekend.
