FIM president: “Suzuki will come back - but I don’t know when”
The Japanese manufacturer stunned the paddock by announcing their swift exit from the chamꦗpionship at the end of the 2022 season.
Suzuki struck an agreement w🎃ith Dorna to break a contract which was due to run until 2026, ending their seven-year stint after initially withdrawing fr🃏om MotoGP.
But Jorge Viegas, FIM president, told he expects another comeback: “It's not easy. I🎉 spoke to Suzuki's number one in Japan, who told me they would invest in another type of engine.
“I think they will come back, but I don't k🎉now when.”&nb🐬sp;
Asked how more major departures c💃ould be avoided, he said: “[We had] difficult years due to Covid, but now things are improving, and I think we could have some positive news.
“For example, I'm happy that Ducati has entered endurance racing: we have to🐈 create rules by collaborating with the manufacturers, since it's the only way to co🐻nvince them to invest."
Suzuki’s exit came only two years after they won the MotoGP championship through Joan Mir.
They explained their decision to quit at the time: “Motorcycle racing has always been a challenging place for technoloꦫgical innovation, including sustainability, and human resource development.
“This decision means that we will take on the challenge to build the new motorcycle business operation by redirecting the technological capabilities and human resources we have cultivated through the motorcycle racing ꧋activities to investigate other routes for a sustainable society.”
Mir and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Rins, their rider duo last season, both joined Ho⛄nda and the latter won his new manufacturer’s first grand prix in two years last time out in Texas.
