Given his trajectory and waiting for all the good things about him from specialists, Joan Mir has every chance of becoming the next MotoGP phenomenon. Moto3 World Champion, he is, at 21 years old, and after only one season in Moto2 without the slightest victory, an official Suzuki rider. He will work alongside Alex Rins. He's a Mallorcan like Jorge Lorenzo. He is not unknown to the Por Fuera family since he passed through the hands of his father for the fundamentals…

Joan mir will be one of the beginners of this 2019 MotpGP season which promises to be at least as exciting as the previous ones. The Spaniard took his first spin on the Suzuki and he didn't do so badly. However, he was overshadowed by another rookie, who rides for a satellite team. Either Francis Bagnaia with his Ducati Pramac.

On his fate, Mir announce the color on Tutomotoriweb : " I sincerely hope to experience what I experienced in all the categories in which I had already participated: to win, to be competitive in the shortest possible time and to have the good results that we deserve. I am a factory driver and I will gradually evolve, without rushing things. We have a very great project in front of us and we are going to seize this opportunity. I am happy with the feelings and conclusions we have drawn from the first tests ».

It will be recalled that this place at Suzuki was taken to the detriment of a certain Jorge Lorenzo who at the time did not have many opportunities to continue his career in MotoGP. But that was before Mugello, the victory and signing with Honda alongside Marquez. What do you think Mir ? “ Jorge will obviously have a hard time. Márquez has a lot of experience on this bike, but we'll see. Jorge showed that there are very few drivers like him on the grid, and if anyone can beat Marc, it's him. He will be competitive from the first race. But Marc remains the driver to beat for the next few years ».

For now the two HRC officials are recovering from two operations. Who will be put back on their feet first? Their competition even takes place over their convalescence…
