While team-mate Alex Rins sensationally led the season finale from start to finish, Mir overcame electronic problems - causing his GSX-ꦛRR to believe it was elsewhere on the track - as he battled from twelfth to sixth.

“Congratulations to the team,” Mir said. “It's emotional to finish the last race with Suzuki. I feel in Japan, they will probably regret [their decision]. But if they took this decision, it was for aꦫ big rea💫son.

“Anyway, I want to thank Suzuki for everything they did for me and thanks to the sup🧔er team that I had around m🐬e.”

Asked what the Suzuki board in Hamamatsu will be thinking a𒅌fter seeing the GSX-RR win two of the last three races, Mir replied: “Wow, what a shame. What a shame.

“It's a really good way to finish this era [with victories but] they will – I don't know if regret is the right word - but for me, even if they want to invest in other things, I think no publicity campaign can give you what we gave them here in MotoGP, with a beautiful bike, a beautiful tea൩m.

“So I don't really understand why they took this decision. They will have their reasons… but I don't unders𓄧tand, honestly.”

That feeling of throwing something sp𓂃ecial away meant Mir wasn’t in the mood to celebrate as he rode back to the Suzuki pits for the fina💝l time.

“I don't know if you saw. I didn't celebrate it. I didn't want to celebrate this last race with Suzuki. Because fꦑor me, it's not a happy day,” Mir explained. “We will not work together as a team again, and this makes me sad.”

The Spaniard, who like Rins intended to 🍬remain at Suzuki for 2023 before finding an alternative seat at Honda, added that the shock of Suzuki’s exit had damaged his season.

“This affected me probably more than I expected,” said Mir, whose mid-season slump was compounded by ankle injuries in Austria. “But this is racing and this is🍸 my professional life, so I need to learn to try to manage this type of [diffi✃cult] situation in a better way.

“It's like when everything is OK and I feel just the pressure of the 🐓championship, I grow up. But then, in difficult moments when the motivation is less, I probably go a bit more down than I should. So this is something I nee🎐d to learn from.”

Mir scored 5💛6 of his eventual 87 points for the entire season in the opening six ra💛ces.

"I'm disappointed about my season in general because we always had problems, bad luck and some mista🎶kes on my part. But happ♛y that this is over, and we start a new challenge on Tuesday," Mir said.

Mir: We will never know what would have happened

Mir and Marquez will be among four ﷽premier🙈-class champions on next year’s grid alongside Fabio Quartararo (2021) and newly crowned 2022 world champion Francesco Bagnaia.

“They both made a great season,” Mir said of the🤪 Quartararo-Bagnaia title fi🐓ght. “Pecco made mistakes in the first part of the season, then a bit in the second part, but he showed he was always the fastest.

“And in the case ofꦓ Fabio, he sta✨rted really good, but then he lost a bit the way in the last part of the season.

“From the o💜utside, it has been a really nice season, [but] we will never know what would have happened if Suzuki didn't decide to stop.

"That will stay inside of me, because in some rac🌳es we struggled, but in others our bike was competitive.”

Rins and Mir had been fourth andও sixth in the world championship ൲when Suzuki announced its shock exit decision, just after round 6 at Jerez.

Between themﷺ, in fifth, was eventu𒁃al champion Bagnaia.

Rins and Mir, who eventually finished 7th and 15th in the standings after returning from mid-season injuries, will make th💝eir Honda MotoGP debuts at Tuesday's post-race test.
