The seismic aftershock left by Suzuki's decision to leave MotoGP
Suzuki's sudden decision to leave the MotoGP World Championship at the end of the season has acted as a stirring element in a market that had already erupted. Autosport analyses what this means for the grid going into 2023
The news that the Japanese leadership of Suzuki had communicated last Monday, following the Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez, to its team that it was going to quit MotoGP at the end of 2022 fell like a shell among the troops. Many of those present took hours to process the information received, both for the consequences it will have in each of its individual cases, as well as for the surprise it provoked.
No one, not even team manager Livio Suppo, who was hired less than two months ago to lead the project, could articulate a single word due to his stupefaction. His "no comment", in response to the journalists who went looking for him once Autosport released the scoop was the perfect reflection of his state of bewilderment.
