Joan mir will be a rookie in MotoGP particularly observed in 2019. Indeed, among the rookies of this season, he is the one who climbed the fastest to the elite and, above all, the only one who can boast an official bike. Some say it's too early for him, others shout on the contrary that it's the next phenomenon. It is true that he also has the advantage of having been Moto3 World Champion. A category which, to listen to him, would be more useful to him on the GSX-RR than his only season in Moto2…
At Suzuki, we will play the youth card. alex rins, for his third year in MotoGP will be the leader of the troops while his teammate Mir will do his scales. On GP One, the latter remembers his first laps with the GSX-RR: “ a MotoGP has brutal acceleration and impressive stopping power. There is a huge difference in speed with a Moto2. It takes a lot of concentration to manage this new situation. At first the front wheel kept rising and as it regained contact with the ground it was pulling the bike in all directions. I was scared and I think I lost at least two years of my life! »
But the beast began to be tamed. Although there is still a way to go, Mir now surrounds the Hamamatsu beast. And that reassures him about his choice to join the elite so early: “ These bikes are much more efficient when you ride them smoothly, keeping the correct lines, connecting the turns together. Exiting the curve must be as well prepared to face the next one ».
He specifies : " It's a style that I had lost since Moto2 and I'm happy to find it again in MotoGP. I'm going to enjoy following my path, it's the only way to become strong. I'm feeling good. This is confirmation that moving to the premier category after a year of Moto2 was the right choice. Now I have to keep working to keep growing and progressing ».
Joan mir preferred to play straight away with Suzuki rather than wait in the Honda anteroom. It was also preferred to Lorenzo when the latter was looking for a handlebar. He will succeed Iannone next to Kidneys.
