Mir missed the Austrian Grand Prix following a crash in testing that left him with a pulmonary contusion.
The Spaniard had been expected to return to MotoGP at Silverstone, yet he has not made a full recovery and, with his training also limited, his team announced via a statement Mir will sit out.
“In the end, I am not able to be in Silverstone for the next race and it is a real pity,” Mir said. “But that’s how things are, and the first priority has to be my health.
“After the accident, I spent several weeks resting, first in the hospital and then at home.
“I have started to walk but, after the tests, it seems that I am still not 100 per cent, so the doctors have determined that it is better to continue with my rehabilitation.”
