Keith Huewen: Suzuki should pay massive penalty for MotoGP ‘Sexit’
The bombshell news of Suzuki’s intention to leave MotoGP at the end of 2022 unsurprisingly leads this week’s Crash.net MotoGP podcast featuring Keith Huewen.
Although an official announcement is yet to be made by Suzuki, shocked team members were told of the factory’s exit plans at the Jerez test.
In response to the ‘rumours’, Dorna then issued a statement reminding Suzuki that it can’t just leave MotoGP unilaterally, meaning an agreement would need to be reached over the remaining years of its current five-year MotoGP contract.
“My initial thoughts were, if I was in the Suzuki team I’d have been well and truly pee’d off,” said former British champion and grand prix rider Huewen. “Nobody had a clue this was coming and you can only blame the board back in Japan.
“They’ve made this decision. It can only be financial. My theory is that Suzuki have had a kneejerk reaction to sales and - despite the fact they are so successful on the racetrack - they’ve yanked the rug.
“On a human level, it’s an absolute disaster for the team. On a professional level, it’s very nearly as bad. And it’s devastating from a race fan’s point of view.
