Mir “ready for Qatar” despite Mandalika MotoGP test misfortunes

The 2020 world champion was forced to test on Saturday with a depleted technical crew after two members of his team tested positive for COVID-19 in Indonesia.

His running on Saturday was limited to 47 laps as a result of electronics problems and a crash.

Mir was then forced to miss the final day of running on Sunday after developing food poisoning, with the Suzuki rider ending the test 12th on the combined times.
