Mallorca born 23-year-old finished seventh in Valencia while Franco Morbidelli won the race.

It is a huge boost and has a great significance for Team Suzuki Ecstar as it stands top with 201 points in constructors table followed by Ducati with same 201 points.
In the absence of Marquez very few regarded Mir as the potential candidate of getting this crown. This season as the favourite among everyone was his teammate Alex Rins and Frenchmen Fabio Quartararo.
However, one thing that made Mir stand tall was his top-notch consistency which clearly shows from the table. As he is ahead by 29 points compared to Franco Morbidelli, who has 142 points in the table.
Due to Covid-19 the pandemic the 2020 MotoGP had a late start with only 14 rounds.
