MotoGP 2025
Honda Racing Corporation has agreed a two-year contract extension with Joan Mir to race for the Factory Team in the MotoGP World Championship.
Joan Mir made his full-time debut in Moto3 in 2016, winning 10 races and claiming his first world championship the following year. He was promoted to Moto2 in 2018 and moved up to the top class, MotoGP, in 2019 before winning the world championship in 2020.
Since 2023, he has competed in the MotoGP class with the Repsol Honda Team and has won 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 to compete together. In addition to Stefan Bradl, Aleix Espargaro will join as a test driver to help with machine development.
Joan Mir
“First of all, I am very happy to be able to compete with Honda and HRC for the next two years. My goal was to continue this partnership and this time I have been able to achieve that. HRC and I have been working together since 2023 and as we continue to do so, I believe that by continuing to give my input to HRC, I can contribute to the improvement of the RC213V. I know what I need to do and I know what Honda can achieve, so I hope that we can both achieve that. We will continue to work hard for the future for the rest of this season.”
Koji Watanabe – President of Honda Racing Corporation

Even under these circumstances, Mir has believed in the team, and we are grateful for his never-give-up attitude and his fight-at-all-time attitude. Together with Mir, we want to work with all parties involved to return and do our best to meet the fans’ expectations as soon as possible. Once again, thank you to all the fans who have always supported us. We look forward to your continued support.”
