Honda Racing Corporation has agreed to a two-year contract extension with Joan Mir to ride for the factory team in the MotoGP World Championship.
“I am very happy that I will be able to compete with Honda and HRC for the next two years. I intend to continue with this association, and this time I achieved it. HRC and I have been associated since 2023, and as we continue like this, I believe that if I continue to contribute my opinions to HRC, I can contribute to the improvement of the RC213V,” explained the Balearic pilot in a statement.
“I know what I have to do and I know what Honda can achieve, so I hope we can both achieve it. We will continue to strive for the future for the rest of the season,” he added.
Joan Mir debuted full-time in the Moto3 category in 2016, won 10 races and earned his first World Championship the following year. He promoted to the Moto2 category in 2018 and made the step up to the premier class, MotoGP, in 2019 before becoming World Champion in 2020.
Since 2023, he has competed in the MotoGP category with the Repsol Honda team, and achieved a total of 12 Grand Prix victories and 33 podiums during his time in the World Championship.
For the 2025 season, Joan Mir and Luca Marini will continue competing together. In addition to Stefan Bradl, Aleix Espargaró will join as a test driver supporting engine development.
