FIM president Viegas believes Suzuki will return to MotoGP as 'they cannot sell bikes if they are not in competition.'
Having returned to MotoGP full-time in 2015 and won the championship with Joan in 2020, Suzuki made the shock announcement part way through the 2022 season that it would be ending its involvement at the end of the campaign.
Speaking during the Assen World Superbike round on Friday, Viegas said he believes Suzuki will one day return to MotoGP as"they cannot sell bikes if they are not in competition" and is"optimistic" other brands will invest in FIM-sanctioned world championships going forward. "I had the occasion to speak to Mr Suzuki himself in Japan, and they said they were going to invest all the money they had in a new type of engine, blah, blah, blah."We had two very tough years with the COVID, but I think things are getting much better now and I think that new manufacturers will join in both competitions – in MotoGP and [World] Superbikes, which is not easy because the investment in MotoGP mainly is huge.
