JEREZ – Shocking news circulating in MotoGP 2022. Suzuki Ecstar rumored to be leaving MotoGP at the end of the 2022 season.
This situation also raises big questions regarding the fate of the two drivers. As is known, Joan Mir and Alex Rins performed quite well at the start of the 2022 season.
Suzuki reportedly decided to leave MotoGP at the end of the 2022 season. This is certainly a surprise because they have signed a commitment contract in MotoGP last year.
Suzuki itself re-joined MotoGP seven years ago, in the 2015 season to be exact. They also managed to secure the title of world champion for the 2020 MotoGP racers and team.
As reported The Race, Tuesday (3/5/2022), this also left Mir and Rins devastated. Moreover, their contracts will expire at the end of this year.
Last week, Suzuki Team Manager, Livio Suppo, still believed he could extend Mir and Rins’ contracts. However, the news of this immediately changed the situation.
For Mir, there may still be hope. Currently, he is being approached by Repsol Honda to replace Pol Espargaro. The circulation of rumors of Suzuki’s departure will facilitate negotiations.
