JAKARTA - Suzuki racer Joan Mir still feels confused and does not understand the decision of his team to withdraw from MotoGP after the final series in Valencia.

"I don't understand why they made this decision (resigning from MotoGP), to be honest," he was quoted as saying by Crash on Thursday, November 10.

In fact, during the final series in Valencia, Sunday, November 3, teammate Alex Rins sensationally led the race from start to finish. However, the achievement seemed not to match the team's situation, therefore Mir did not want to celebrate when he returned to pit Suzuki for the last time.

"I don't know if you see, I'm not celebrating. I don't want to celebrate this last race with Suzuki. Because for me, it's not a happy day," explained Mir.

"We will not work together as a team anymore, and this makes me sad," he continued.

Despite Valencia's racing situation being an emotional moment for Mir, he felt the decision Suzuki made to withdraw from MotoGP was a decision that must be respected and in the end he could only thank the team who also contributed to his career.

"Very emotional to finish the final race with Suzuki," said Mir.

I feel in Japan, they may regret (the decision they withdrew). But if they make this decision, it's for big reasons."

"The point is I want to thank Suzuki for everything they did for me and thank the super team around me," he concluded.
