Suzuki, 0 points after the announcement of his retirement … Consequence or coincidence?

Date:

Since, after the test post Spanish GP, suzuki made public his decision to withdraw from World championship after the season, Joan Mir and Alex Rins They were able to finish a career.

It would be useful to say that the reason is in that announcement, as Alex Rins fell on Sunday in an incident in Takaaki Nakagami as he makes a nice comeback from the end of the starting grid. But it would also not be true to say that the concentration in the range of Team Ecstar Suzuki It has not yet fallen into the abyss after the unexpected closure of the business.

“I’ll say it’s just a coincidence, but it’s obvious that when there’s a part of your brain that’s busy looking for a job for next year, it’s not the same.”a member of Team Suzuki admitted to us.

Combine the uncertain future of each team member-including the pilots-with the logical lack of stimuli in the face of a project with an expiration date, and the result leaves room for speculation. .

Inside the Suzuki box, after the first shock, the feeling of disbelief begins to mutate towards resentment at how they had managed in Japan such a delicate situation. Let’s remember how DORNA and the sponsors found out about its decision to shut down via a tweet, and how those responsible for it took advantage of the eve of Golden Week —a holiday period — to drop the bomb and do not give any signal until it returns to activity.

But considering the history of Suzukithis fear should not come as a surprise. The first time the Hamamatsu -based brand unexpectedly lowered the blind was before the start of the season in 1984, leaving its official driver, Randy Mamola, walking from one day to the next. In 2012, already in the MotoGP season, he was also not expected to retire in his winter quarters, to reappear in 2015. And now, in 2022, history repeats itself. Who will return or not who will return? … Who knows Japan’s plans!

The surprising thing on this occasion was that Suzuki decided to withdraw when they were more competitive than ever in athletic terms. and when his new bike took an important step forward, improving its weak points without losing its virtues on the road. They have everything to be a hero. That is why his decision was more disconcerting.

Still, the clear is for the riders and the rest of the team the season will be long, very long.
