At Suzuki, jubilation is always in order after winning the world drivers' title. Mir fulfilled them by supporting a bold recruitment policy which placed the destiny of a manufacturer in MotoGP in the hands of two young riders. A duo, indeed, as the other is a Rins who could legitimately feel frustrated at not being the one crowned. While he was there before and he has more victories with the GSX-RR…
It is clear that this scenario only exacerbated a logical rivalry between two representatives of the next generation in Grand Prix. However, the story is so far well managed in the box Suzuki where healthy emulation benefiting the general interest has never transformed into fratricidal combat serving at all costs only individual ambitions.
A balance maintained, and Joan mir explains it this way: “ we both have great respect for Suzuki, we fought to bring the brand to the top and, of course, there is a big rivalry between us. But having a strong box partner forces you to try harder. That's why he and I are even more competitive ».
Mir: “in 2021 we can be even stronger”
A competitiveness that will have to be confirmed in 2021, during a season where Joan mir will be the one who will have to be stripped of the crown. A pressure that he will have to manage. But the Majorcan, already World Champion in 2017 in Moto3, seems to have the build to support it: “ It's not bad to start again as champion. But the feeling is that we can do even better. We have to continue with our philosophy, but maybe with a little more speed we can be even stronger ». Mir announces the color, which also means that Kidneys will also be a permanent danger.
