The relationship between MotoGP organizers Dorna and Suzuki has been very strained for the past few months. Rumors that Suzuki would pull out of MotoGP emerged over the summer of 2010, and after a meeting in Japan was postponed after the Motegi MotoGP round, Suzuki eventually announced they would be fielding just a single machine in 2011, with Alvaro Bautista riding it.
Since that announcement, Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta has made his unhappiness with Suzuki very clear, issuing veiled threats of legal action to force the Hamatsu factory to live up to the terms of their contract. Unfortunately - for Dorna at least - the terms of the contract do not appear to specify the minimum number of bikes that a factory must run in MotoGP, and Suzuki has seized upon this loophole to run just the one bike.
