Suzuki’s Álex Rins will miss this weekend’s Catalan Grand Prix after suffering a cycling accident at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Thursday morning.
Following his accident, Rins was taken to Barcelona’s Universitari Dexeus Hospital for further examination and medical checks revealed a fracture in the radius bone. Suzuki have confirmed the fracture is immobilised and on Friday morning, Rins will undergo surgery, meaning he will not take part in his home Grand Prix.
Suzuki have also confirmed that Rins will not be replaced, meaning Joan Mir will be the sole representative for the Japanese constructor this weekend. The 25-year-old will be eyeing a return for the German motorcycle Grand Prix at the Sachsenring on the 20th of June.
