By brutally announcing its premature withdrawal from competition, would Suzuki discover the ravages of its inconsistency? Given the results since this disaster, we can ask ourselves the question. MotoGP is a very high-level competition with fierce competition where every detail counts and above all the human factor, with its moods, certainties and doubts. The crew of the Suzuki boat certainly did not expect to be torpedoed in this way by their own leaders from Japan. Since then, the boat could sink normally, but after two zero results at the French and Italian Grands Prix which followed the announcement of euthanasia, the ship is taking on water faster than expected. There is a fear that the rest of the season will be a real struggle because we are still far from the end...
Suzuki recorded the retirements due to falls of its two pilots Joan mir et alex rins at the French Grand Prix and the Italian Grand Prix. Two successive meetings which had the particularity of being those experienced after the announcement of the brand to withdraw from MotoGP, a competition in which it had nevertheless contractually ensured its presence until 2026. We are therefore in the world after Hamamatsu version and it looks like a collapse at the moment.
Joan Mir warns Suzuki: “ spending a year like this can be very long«
An atmosphere that Joan mir confirms by admitting Motorsport : " This isn't the first time I've had problems outside of sports, and I think I know how to sort things out », declared the 2020 World Champion who is now looking for a future like his team alex rins. Then he adds: “ but it is clear that there is not the harmony in the team that there was before Suzuki's decision to leave MotoGP ».
And he ends with what sounds like a call for remobilization: “ we have to do something, because spending a year like this can be very long ". There are still 12 events remaining before the curtain comes down, including that of Catalonia of this weekend. Ending up in such chaos would be a real waste for this valiant team whose painful disappearance would have consequences on the reputation of the manufacturer which could cost over time as much in terms of image as the budgetary savings calculated by a board of directors. administration.
