After a season full of authority and regularity which allowed him to get the most out of his good Suzuki, we discover a little more about the journey of Joan Mir, new MotoGP World Champion. The Majorcan brought joy to the Hamamatsu brand in the year of its centenary, a conjunction which makes it a little more in the history of the coat of arms. This is precisely what he hoped for by joining the troops commanded by Davide Brivio. An aura that he would not have had by staying at Honda…
Joan mir was thus in the bosom of Honda, the brand with which he won his title in Moto3 in 2017. Then things evolved differently, an orientation at HRC which pushed him to look elsewhere. And especially Suzuki. The Majorcan, who says he had several proposals in his pocket at that time, opted for the GSX-RR with this conviction: “ At the time, I had other options, and I thought about them a lot, evaluating and weighing the pros and cons. I was already very interested in Suzuki, then suddenly I thought: If I go to Suzuki and win the World Championship, it will be something incredible, memorable... Historic! And here we are, celebrating a piece of history ».
Joan Mir also makes Suzuki history
A bet won, a dream come true, a prediction which turned out to be so correct that it is the added value of this title, whatever one may say, deserved: “ I made history with Suzuki and it’s an honor »Insists Mir. " When I see the words “World Champion”, I am very grateful for what everyone at Suzuki has done for me.”.
« There is no way to express the gratitude I want to express to all the people who helped me get to where I am now, on top of the world. Seeing my face among all the historic Suzuki champions is something magical. All members of the Suzuki Ecstar team are now part of history » finished the teammatealex rins, third in the general classification 2020.
The Mallorcan has indeed made history, since he won the title in a very special year for the Japanese brand. Suzuki thus celebrated its 100th anniversary and its 60th anniversary in racing. It has also been 20 years since Kenny Roberts.Jr won the last title. Like a work of destiny.
