This is the new Suzuki MotoGP race livery, which Joan Mir and Alex Rins will hope to take the GSX-RR back to t꧂he top step of th🌊e podium in 2022.

The latest livery sees some black,🅺 around the front numberplate, added to the usual blue and silver colour scheme. Monster branding, which arrived last year, remains on the lower part of the fairing (plus screen and front fender).

After taking his first MotoGP victory en route to winning th🔯e 2020 title, Suzuki first since Kevin Schwa♔ntz in 1993, a frustrated Mir didn't lead a single race lap last season.

Six podiums took Mir to third in the world championship behind Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) and Francesco Bagnꦅaia (Ducati) but the Spaniard made clear he needed more technical progress from Suzuki.

The factory was the last to supply a ride-height device to its race team, just after the summer break, but🐷 it didn't transform the fortunes of either Mir or Rins during th𝄹e Ducati-dominated final rounds.

Rins' 2021 title hopes were extinguished by a string of ra🐓ce mistakes during t🌜he early European rounds, plus a wrist injury in a bizarre bicycle accident just before Catalunya.

The triple MotoGP race winner was left 13 in the final standings𒁏, with just 💟one rostrum appearance.

Like mo🐻st riders, Mir and Rins are out of coꦓntract at the end of this season, while Suzuki is yet to announce a replacement team manager for Davide Brivio, who left for F1 over a year ago.
