After finishing 12th as a rookie in 2019, Mir won the world title in 2020 with unerring consistency and one clutch win in Valencia before his career took an unwanted turn when Suzuki said sayonara to MotoGP™ two years later.
Since, his tenure at Honda has been littered with crashes, injury and more crashes as he stubbornly asks more of his machinery than it’s capable of providing, the mental and physical anguish tempered by the hope that better things have to come at some point if he keeps on keeping on. Should Mir feature at the sharp end again, there’d be few who wouldn’t applaud his resilience.
