From 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 test riders supporting machine development.

“First of all, I am very happy to be able to compete with Honda and HRC for the next two years. It was my goal to continue this partnership, and this time I have been able to achieve it. HRC and I have been in partnership since 2023, and as we continue to do so, I believe that by continuing to input my opinions to HRC, I can contribute to improving the RC213V. I know what I need to do and I know what Honda can achieve, so I hope that we can both achieve it. We will continue to work hard for the future for the remainder of this season.”
