With Fabio Quartararo aside, he is considered a solid MotoGP prospect. He is considered one of those who, tomorrow, will make the powder speak and the statistics tremble. Marc Márquez must therefore keep an eye on him as much as the Frenchman. Still, the Moto3 world champion would like to succeed in the premier category in style. Like, for example, making history with Suzuki like Kevin Schwantz did in his time…
Joan mir was not unworthy in a 2019 season which was his first in MotoGP. He finished his journey convincingly and even came back from a serious lung injury which built his character. Even if it was less sparkling than fabio quartararo, he marked his territory, and in particular by regularly getting closer to his team leader, Álex Rins.
For 2020, Mir announced the color: “ I will regularly aim for the top 5 » he assures in an interview with Motomatters where he recalls his steady rise: “ my run was very fast, I think it's a record, I'll have to check. I didn't expect to be in MotoGP after only 4 years, I'm very happy. I would have liked to do another year in Moto2 and fight for the title but I can't complain. »
Even less so since it interests the teams… He admits: “ I had other offers, but I chose Suzuki because one day I would like to be like Kevin Schwantz. Maybe we can talk about it again when I win a world championship with this bike... » That's all the harm we wish him!
