In the world of motorsport, in an arena followed for years, where races and competitions take place, managers are looking for a ray of hope for the two riders. In this report, a manager shares their views on the careers of the two riders. The performances of Joan Mir and Raul Fernandez are the focal point of these discussions. Some commentators state how Joan Mir's career is a savior. Furthermore, Raul Fernandez's development attracts attention.
Joan Mir's Career and the Shadow of Competition
A commentator speaking about Joan Mir's career states that it is related to the nature of the current competition. They express that this competition stems from the tension between Valentino and Marc in recent years. They believe this situation overshadows the achievements of other riders. They argue that these two riders are greats and should always be in front of the field.
Whoever is concerned about Joan Mir, has people with a very short memory. We live in a world currently dominated by a rivalry that emerged in recent years—namely the rivalry between Valentino and Marc. And that has practically brought everything to the forefront and cast the successes of others into shadow. Without Vale or Marc giving credit where it is due, what they deserve. They are two legends. For me, they are the two best riders in history and therefore deserve to always be in the spotlight.
Views on Joan Mir's career are told from the beginning. They state that Joan Mir won a race in Moto3 when he debuted in 2016, that he was selected as a "Young Star," and that he became World Champion the following year. He then moved to Moto2, and after one race, he was selected as a "Young Star" while facing problems in the Marc-VDS team. When he moved to MotoGP on a Suzuki motorcycle, contrary to expectations, he became World Champion in his second year. During this period, they emphasize that the Suzuki engine had never won a World Championship until then. Furthermore, they believe this achievement was devalued due to the COVID year and the low number of races. Finally, they recount what happened during Suzuki's withdrawal from races and switch to Honda while they were in third place in a period when Suzuki was the only manufacturer, and technically outperformed others with a motorcycle. In response to accusations that people underestimated him, they state that Joan Mir has incredible tenacity and pushed harder to get faster. They believe that his achievements in Gresini should be evaluated and the effort shown for those achievements should be recognized.
Raul Fernandez's Development and Entitlement
A commentator speaking about Raul Fernandez states that he has shown superior development since the last year. They emphasize that this rider came from the bottom and the back of the grid, highlighting that he achieved a comeback race in the last racing season. They also mention that he won in Australia and achieved a podium in Indonesia. After starting in Thailand, he won a Sprint race and achieved podiums at Mugello, ultimately taking victory at Silverstone. They believe that people do not appreciate these achievements because he does not have a manufacturer's bike, and that these achievements are not appreciated. They emphasize that MotoGP is a championship where no one loses anything. However, they do not always understand why he did not receive a contract renewal offer for the following year. They believe that this success is only valid for absolute top riders, and those who do not see this should focus on other matters.
Whoever is concerned about Raul, is a rider who can show excellent development since the middle of last year. He is a rider who came from the depths, from the back rows. He achieved an incredible comeback in the final phase of the championship last year. He won in Australia, he stood on the podium in Indonesia. After starting in Thailand, he won the Sprint race, and achieved podiums at Mugello, until he finally took the victory in the main race at Silverstone. People do not seem to appreciate these results. That one does not value him because he does not have a factory bike surprises me. The [MotoGP] is a championship where no one loses anything. But I still do not understand why he did not receive a contract renewal offer for the next year after the first or second race of the championship. That Joan and Raul having a motorcycle for the next year is not my right; the right belongs only and solely to the two riders who are both absolute top riders. And whoever does not see that, should focus on something else or look elsewhere.
