Mir “must win two or three races” to win 2021 MotoGP title

Mir has so far only scored three podiums from the first 11 races of the Suzuki rider’s title defence, while runaway championship leader Fabio Quartararo has won four races on his way to a 47-point advantage.

The Spaniard salvaged fourth from the chaotic end to last Sunday’s Austrian GP, when he pitted for his wet bike as the rain fell heavier whilst running in the lead group.
