Joan Mir: "I hope to be able to announce my future soon"

After the Spanish Grand Prix held in Jerez on Sunday afternoon, Joan Mir left a sentence in his meeting with the media after the race pointing to an immediate outcome on what his team was going to be in 2023.

“My future is clear to me and I hope to be able to announce it soon,” said the Spaniard.

At that time, Mir, who was ending his contract with Suzuki at the end of the season, had a downward renewal offer on the table to continue with the Hamamatsu team.

But only 24 hours later, the huge bomb of Suzuki’s departure at the end of the season exploded, leaving the MotoGP World Championship planted despite having signed a permanence contract until the end of 2026.

This Sunday after the race at Mugello they reminded Mir of that phrase. “That’s expired,” he said with a laugh, assuming that Suzuki’s decision has changed the whole scenario and has left him powerless to negotiate a good contract for next year.

However, the 2020 world champion, remained in his position that his future will soon be known.

“I hope to announce it soon, I hope to be able to tell you things quickly, because it is very important for anyone to have their future secured. But right now I can’t talk about this”, a response that opens the door to knowing in a relatively short period of time where will it run in 2023.

Although nowhere confirms it categorically, Mir’s future seems to point to the official Honda team, especially after his representative admitted at Le Mans that “if HRC confirms Pol Espargaró, we are in the shit”, making it clear that the future departure of your client is that seat.

Mir, who on Sunday admitted that “in the current situation that Suzuki is going through, the season is going to be very long”, and that “it is evident that the harmony in the team is not the same as before”, agreed in that soon having a future that motivates him is a good way to find the stimuli to continue paddling the twelve races that remain to finish the course.

“Yes, having an assured future is something that motivates, it’s always like that. For everyone, not just for a driver,” he concluded.
