    Joan Mir To Extends Contract With Honda Through 2026

    Joan Mir is to remain with the factory Honda team for the next two seasons. The 2020 world champion will be riding for Honda in 2025 and 2026, until the end of the current technical regulations.

    The signing was not unexpected. For the last couple of races, Mir has been telling reporters that to leave HRC at the end of this year would feel like a defeat. He had joined Honda with aspirations of helping to make the bike competitive again, and that had not yet succeeded.

    Mir also had very few other options. Without good results to show, finding a more competitive ride was difficult. And without a competitive bike, scoring competitive results was also difficult.
