Suzuki started the season a little behind the competition when it came to motorcycle innovation, according to Joan Mir, who highlighted one aspect that may have contributed to a less successful year, he says.
The ex-world champion explained to Motosan when the team started the season weaker in the face of the opponents: “I think our weakness was where others improved better than we did. That’s what happened. We improved during the season, but of course at the beginning of the season, for example without them [holeshot] Device, a device that gives you such an advantage that you will lose a lot of places and you will lose a few races on the line. Goal… These are things that we cannot afford if we want to fight for the title. “
However, I explained that his expectations of the team’s result expressed in winter were not disappointed, but that he was surprised by the results of the other competitors:
– I didn’t expect more from Suzuki, it’s more the fact that I didn’t expect the others to improve so much. But the truth is, that happened. When they realized that there were of course things to be improved, we didn’t have as many tests to improve over the year.
