bikesportnews.com

While MotoGP is set for the season finale, none in the paddock will be more emotional than Suzuki Ecstar. As 2022 calls time on racing action, Suzuki is once again ready to depart the premier class after a seven year sojourn.

The Hamamatsu outfit having already left MotoGP back in 2011 for a three-year hiatus before returning with the now Aprilia duo of Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Viñales.

The highs of 2020’s championship winning season in the hands of Joan Mir were met by the lows of May’s Jerez test when news broke out of nowhere that 2022 would be the team’s last year in the paddock.

Suzuki currently holds 37 podiums to its name across the seven seasons of its reincarnation, six on the top step and four thanks to current rider Alex Rins.
