This new documentary tells the story of how the new team was completed with official development rider Randy de Puniet and team manager Davide Brivio. Together, the 20-strong pit team started with a back to back test of the old V4 800cc machine and the new 4 in-line prototype.

De Puniet makes it clear: the old one was rough and raw, whereas the new engine is smooth. Suzuki finally dropped the V4 architecture and developed a completely new engine in the vein of the Yamaha M1, and according to the team, the base is the right one, with a lot of refinement and improvement ahead in order to make it a truly competitive machine.

Enjoy MotoGP history in the making and stay tuned for the other 3 parts of the Suzuky odyssey.
