Suzuki bowed out of Grand Prix racing in style when Alex Rins won the 2022 Valencia GP by nearly four seconds on November 6, 2022. Taking the last two of three races on the MotoGP calendar, the team proved its pedigree and worth, even if the House of Hamamatsu already announced its plans to pull the plug on the project by season’s end.
The bittersweet news doesn’t stop there, though. After packing up the operation for the final time, Suzuki MotoGP team manager Livio Suppo sat down with GP One’s Marco Caregnato. Among other things, the pair discussed the fate of the team’s universally-loved GSX-RR race machines.
