MotoGP | Mir: “We needed Suppo” | FormulaPassion.it

At the end of 2021 Joan Mir he had not hidden his disappointment at what Suzuki showed on the track, essentially unable to give him a bike capable of defending the champion won in the previous season. The Spaniard was really down in the dumps and had raised the possibility of looking around him, in search of the best solution for the future, in the event of a new year not up to his expectations. But Suzuki seems to have done everything possible to please its top rider, putting a deeply revised GSX-RR in his hands in winter and having hired Livio Suppo as team manager. What he has seen seems to have made a dent in Mir, who recently declared his intention to start discussions for his renewal in the team. The Spaniard was among the protagonists of the usual press conference for the presentation of the Qatar GP.

New Suzuki. “I’m happy with how things are going, I felt an improvement on the bike and it seems we have more top speed, which is always very important. I think the winter was positive, because I managed to train well and rest a bit and I recharged my batteries for the first races. Let’s see what we can do and I can’t wait to leave. “
The arrival of Livio Suppo. “This is a step we have been waiting for for a long time. Before, some people on the team weren’t doing their exact job, but now everyone knows what they need to do. I think he’s a person who can give a lot to the team and as far as I know he’s a very clear person and that’s definitely what we needed. “
