Rival MotoGP™ teams and other Championships like our friends on four wheels, Formula 1, showed their admiration for Mir. And the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, posted a little message to the number 36 too.
And then there are those who congratulated Mir by commenting on his own posts, or replying to a MotoGP™ post: from Takaaki Nakagami to Carlos Sainz Jr, Manuel Poggiali, Max Biaggi, Alex Barros, Marco Melandri, Loris Capirossi, Randy Mamola or even Xavier Siméon, Eric Granado, Dominique Aegerter, Sandro Cortese, Takahisha Fujinami, Laia Sanz and Toni Bou.
Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro and tennis legend Rafael Nadal posted nice messages on their Instagram stories, a nice doffing of the cap to Suzuki’s first World Champion in 20 years.
