Rins: Suzuki’s MotoGP exit shock “not easy” for rival teams

Following the Spanish Grand Prix, Autosport revealed Suzuki would be leaving MotoGP at the end of the 2022 season, with the Japanese manufacturer confirming at Le Mans that it had entered into discussions with Dorna Sports about terminating its contract.

With both Mir and Rins’ camps claiming at Le Mans that the pair were close to agreeing new deals with Suzuki before its decision, it has left both with limited options for 2023.
