Joan Mir has had a unusual journey in MotoGP. Crowned Moto3 champion in 2017 and finishing sixth in his sole Moto2 season the following year, the Spaniard endured a low-key rookie season - marred by injury - at Suzuki in 2019, before clinching an unexpected title the very next year, amidst a season defined by a reshuffled calendar due to COVID-19 and Marc Marquez's injury.
