Joan Mir he failed to defend the title he won twelve months ago and practically never was in the fight for the 2021 World Cup, finishing third behind the winner Fabio Quartararo and ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia. The Spanish rider had spurred Suzuki on several occasions to keep up with the rival teams, who had definitely improved in the last season and this progress will depend on the will of the young Iberian centaur to extend his contract with the Japanese, which will see its natural expiration. at the end of 2022. Already in recent days Mir had explained that he was not in a hurry to renew, a thought reaffirmed also in the interview with Marca: “It is important to probe the market, to understand what can be done. I trust Suzuki a lot and I want to claim the 2020 title. I don’t know what I will do, but if I see that Suzuki has the same goals as I do, I will definitely stay ”.
Mir then did not want to argue with Kevin Schwantz, legend of the house of Hamamatsu, who claimed that the Spaniard did not race at the level of 2020: “I disagree at all, I had practically the same bike available as last year and I went faster in all the races. The problem was that the others improved a lot and I couldn’t be in the positions I wanted “. Among the rivals for the next championship, in addition to Quartararo and the Ducati patrol, Mir does not rule out Marc Marquez: “He will be a clear candidate for the title, it is important to have him on the track. Obviously it will make things more difficult “. Closing on Suzuki’s Progress: “I like to push on the front and the new frame seems to be going in that direction. There is a good margin “.
