MotoGP: Alex Rins And Joan Mir In Talks With Honda

Suzuki shocked the racing world when it announced its plans of pulling out of the MotoGP after the end of the 2022 season. With two of the racing series most talented riders donning Suzuki leathers, it goes without saying that what the future holds for both Alex Rins and Joan Mir is an extremely debated topic. Speculation concerning the two riders' futures has been going around, but it's now confirmed that Honda is looking like a prospect. 

 It was initially assumed that both riders were to renew their contracts with Suzuki. However, with Suzuki's intentions of pulling out of the racing series all but certain, it looks like this is well and truly off the table. That said, both Rins and Mir are extremely strong additions to the already enticing rider market. Repsol Honda team manager Alberto Puig has confirmed that the two Spaniards have reached out to Honda to discuss prospects when it comes to their future. As is the case with most things in life, compromises must be made. Should Honda take either or both of the riders, surely, other riders will lose their seats.
