Suzuki called to order by Dorna Sports

After the rumor, the time has come for a call to order at Suzuki. Dorna Sports, the rights holder of the MotoGP got in touch with the Japanese factory to “ remind them that the conditions of the contract, signed between the two parties, would not allow them to make such a decision unilaterally. » Without an agreement with the Spanish company, Suzuki cannot therefore consider leaving the discipline. As a reminder, last April, the Japanese manufacturer committed to MotoGP until 2026.

However, Dorna Sports specifies that the door is not completely closed for a departure from the team of Joan Mir and Alex Rins. “ If Suzuki comes to a mutual agreement, Dorna Sports will evaluate the ideal number of riders and teams fielded in MotoGP™ from 2023. » Other manufacturers and independent teams could take advantage of this situation to sign a commitment for the 2023 season.
