Iwanbanaran.com – Cakkkk… Suzuki’s withdrawal at the end of the upcoming 2022 season will likely create a domino effect in the transfer market for drivers. Yupss, of course, the Suzuki Ecstar Team racer duo still haven’t got a place to take shelter next season. However, HRC confirmed that it was in talks with Joan Mir and Alex Rins. Wehhh interesting kiee kangmzzz…
Last Thursday, Suzuki had sent a letter over his setback in MotoGP at the end of this season. This of course shocked Alex Rins and Joan Mir, yup, both of them were quite slapped with the confirmation of Suzuki officials after the Jerez GP, Spain two weeks ago.
Even Alex Rins sincerely said that he had cried after the news cakkk. Moreover, the Spaniard has been with Suzuki for 6 years (with this season).
Meanwhile, Joan Mir, who presented the title to Suzuki in 2020, said he was angry at Suzuki’s decision and Mir, who should have stayed with the Hamamatsu manufacturer, now had to find a way to get a team slot next year.
Apart from all that, the two Team Suzuki Ecstar drivers who continue to show consistency this season will enliven the transfer market for drivers which of course will begin in the next few weeks. Previously, Mir was rumored to be very close to the Repsol Honda Team to replace Pol Espargaro. Meanwhile, Alex Rins has been linked with two teams, namely Aprilia Racing and WithU Yamaha RNF MotoGP Team.
But surprisingly, it turns out that both drivers have discussed contracts with HRC, this is confirmed by Alberto Puig, who has always been the Manager of the Repsol Honda Team recently.
“Obviously, when these two riders (Mir and Rins) got the news (of Suzuki’s withdrawal), I thought they contacted everyone (the top team of the MotoGP team). They also contacted us. Of course, they asked us for a chance to come in next season and, we will listen to what they have to say. That’s clear.” said Puig via Motosan
“To be honest, our policy hasn’t changed at all. We decided a long time ago, this year we will see and wait a little longer. Looking at the racer market, contemplating all the possibilities, looking at the young drivers, and also looking at the drivers we already have. But we will not rush to decide. Then suddenly this news (Suzuki) appeared in Jerez, which really shocked everyone.
“It won’t change our goals or our concept of what we want, nor the time to decide. But the way we deal with what we want in the next year was planned before the Suzuki thing happened and that’s not going to change our strategy.” tutup puig….(CB iwb)
