Joan Mir won this famous victory last Sunday which she would have missed so much to truly revel in a first world title which is reaching out to her. The jewel in a crown that he can wear this weekend on the same track in Valencia. The Suzuki will not betray him in this quest, but also that of his teammate Alex Rins who can still harbor some hopes of reversing a trend which would make him the runner-up to his younger brother in the box of the Hamamatsu factory. What if all this turned into a regrettable fratricidal struggle? Joan Mir warns…
Suzuki has a historic chance not only to win the triple crown, but also to achieve the double in the drivers' championship. Indeed, Joan mir is in the lead, and he is ahead, two Grands Prix from the goal, of his teammate alex rins de 37 points. However, the latter is ranked behind fabio quartararo, which has the same capital, but enhanced by three successes.
A situation which could arouse warlike desires on the part of the one who let a possible success escape the European Grand Prix because of a bad relationship. Enough to open a door in which Joan Mir rushed in, to then show that he was indeed the fastest on the Valencia track.
This weekend, we're going back, and on the same site. For revenge? Joan mir, from the top of his 23 years, recalls the issues and calls for responsibility: “ if Rins wants a battle, I don't have one desire» calms the Majorcan directly. “ We must be smarter than others in this case. I play a song, too. Rins plays a lot too, and that's being second in the championship. In case of failure of both, by wanting to measure ourselves against each other, we can fall and see the others go ahead. You will have to evaluate this. I consider this not what Suzuki needs, what I need or what he needs ».
“Yamaha riders are under more pressure than they should”
A cold analysis of the collective interest on which he insists: “ we must run smart. There is no need to race between two teammates given that Suzuki has not won a world championship in 20 years. He plays the title, and so do I. You must keep in mind that you are playing with your teammate and more than your interest, you must seek that of the brand. Suzuki pays us. We must take this into account. I think he takes it into account because I consider that Rins has never done anything stupid with me, he is a very clean guy on the circuit, very respectful even when we were not playing for a title. I don't think that will change ».
Which will not change either depending on Joan mir, this is the level of Yamaha , they also potentially still pose a danger to his supreme ambitions: “ I don't think they'll come back, honestly. I think both Yamaha riders are under a little more pressure than they probably should be and that's it ". see you this weekend to judge the relevance of this evaluation…
