“When you try to rebuild a project, you need consistency."
Repsol Honda ’s decision to keep Joan Mir alongside Luca Marini next year gives them the best chance to develop, it is claimed.
Mir’s new contract, which ties him to Honda for two more years, was perhaps surprising due to his struggles since joining from Suzuki.But after Mir confirmed he would stay for 2025 and 2026, TNT Sports’ Sylvain Guintoli reacted: “For Joan and for Honda, keeping the same line-up is a good idea.“From the start when Honda started to make changes to the aero side and the chassis, for sticking with that project is a good idea.
Marini joined Repsol Honda this season, becoming a factory rider for the first time after leaving VR46. But he has been glued to the back of the grid for the entire season, and is rooted to the bottom of the MotoGP standings.Mir has fared slightly better in his second season on the below-par bike.Both Mir and Marini have run a less powerful version of Honda’s engine at the past three rounds, as they sought the ideal optimisation of the bike.
This year’s revised concessions rules give Honda the opportunity to introduce a new engine midway through the season, designed to power their progression back to the front.
