The champion from the shortened 2020 coronavirus season has had two lacklustre years. This year, however, a new challenge awaits him. That’s because, following Suzuki’s departure from the championship, he’s joining factory Honda, where he’ll be Marc Márquez’s new teammate and will look to return to the limelight with the team.
