When the ax of a cold Suzuki board of directors fell in Japan, thereby running its official MotoGP team, the two riders who still thought they were dancing with the GSX-RR and were very deprived when this kiss came, it was Alex Rins who seemed to have to worry the most. After all, his neighbor in the box Joan Mir had the trump card of a 2020 World Champion title up his sleeve, a major asset. But listening to them about their situation which has yet to be defined for next year, the reality seems different...
A Assen, before the start of hostilities expected for tomorrow, Friday, Joan mir et Alex Rins were asked about what he planned to do for 2023 and beyond. A sensitive subject and apparently especially for Joan mir who showed a certain excitement: “ My future ? If I already knew, I would be calm he acknowledges. " At the moment, however, I know nothing. Of course there will be many changes in the end this market is a big chaos ».
And he unfolds: “ I was first given to Honda, then Yamaha, then Ducati. There is currently no clarity. If managers don't move quickly someone risks being left on foot ". Was the message for his who doesn't seem to quite reassure him? It is, by the way, the same as Remy gardner who didn't just make friends at KTM by talking about the low salaries that would be there...
Joan Mir wants to know and Alex Rins will decide
In view of the anguish of Joan mir, we feared for the balance ofalex rins when the same question was asked. But the Spaniard’s tone turned out to be very different… “ I have a few options for the future, I was very happy to have this interest from some builders. At the moment I haven't decided anything yet, but I would like to do it as soon as possible. I would already like this weekend, but I have to understand and evaluate. All the options are very interesting, some are better than others. I'm in a good situation and it won't be easy to choose ».
Obviously, alex rins is in the final phase of its reflection, while Joan mir instead emphasizes expectation. Kidneys even allows the luxury of formulating a demand: “ I would like to have a 2023 motorcycle, that would be an important aspect. The fact is that this may not be the case. But even if it wasn't, it would still be okay ". It will be recalled that the rumor MotoGP insists on designating the two Spaniards as future Honda drivers. Mir would be Marc Marquez's teammate while Kidneys would take Alex Marquez's place at LCR.
