From his early forays on the world stage , it was clear Mir was destined for the top . 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 . 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 . Mir returned as a near complete performer in 2020 to win one of the most unlikely championship triumphs in premier class history . His title defence was more difficult , as Suzuki stood still with bike development and his rivals raced clear . That reliable consistency meant Mir still finished third overall . But his 2022 challenge came apart when Suzuki announced plans to withdraw from MotoGP™ at the end of this year .
