Joan Mir is the one who was dispossessed of his title in 2021 by a Fabio Quartararo very different from the one he knew when he was his teammate in Moto3, under the Leopard colors. The Suzuki official, however, was not unworthy, finishing third in the general classification with eleven top 5s in 18 races. But he has no victory, compared to five for the Frenchman at the Yamaha and also on eleven occasions in the top 5. The domination has been suffered and the Mallorcan does not want to relive it in 2022. As the start of the season approaches, Joan Mir reminds Suzuki of his duties again…

" But it's not that I'm not happy with Suzuki. I'm unhappy because we couldn't fight for the world title and we could not put pressure on Fabio at any time. It wasn't what I expected. It was a disappointment ».
Joan Mir: “I'm disappointed. This sums it up best"
He even insists: “ I'm disappointed. This sums it up best ". With his Suzuki GSX-RR, Mir often didn't have the weapon he needed to win. An experience that allows him to define what he would really like for this season… “ I can't really judge because I only got to ride the Suzuki. But if I could choose, I would like to have the power of the Ducati, the agility of the Honda, the grip of the Yamaha and the consistency of the Suzuki ».
His employer is therefore still mentioned on the list of the man who, in five years, went from the Moto3 category to the title of MotoGP World Champion. However, the contract with Suzuki expires at the end of the year, and there are already rumors linking Mir to transfer to Repsol-Honda...
