No one in the modern era has dominated grand prix racing ’ s junior category like the Mir did in 2017 , only his second season in the class . Ten race wins and a Moto3™ championship victory was just the start of grand prix racing ’ s next big thing . His early showings in Marc VDS ’ Moto2™ team - podiums at Le Mans and Mugello – convinced Suzuki to add him to its MotoGP™ ranks in 2019 , where , alongside Alex Rins he formed a highly effective all-Spanish line-up . He was just finding his feet before a massive testing crash in Brno left him nursing an injury to his lungs . But Mir returned as a near complete performer in 2020 , recovering from a poor start to the campaign to rack up seven podiums , a first win and one of the most unlikely championship triumphs in premier class history . And there is still so much to improve . Mir has had to battle against a Suzuki GSX-RR that can ’ t qualify well all year . Even still , he has amassed four podiums – Portugal , Italy , Holland and Styria – and still harbours a realistic shot at the championship .
