The 2020 world champion is set to stay with Honda for two more years and has opened up on why he is leaning towards this
Reports by Motorsport.com saying Joan Mir is set to stay with Honda in MotoGP for two more years came as some surprise given the misery of the past two seasons. To say the last three years for Mir have been brutal would be something of an understatement. The 2020 world champion was nearing renewing with Suzuki, with whom he won the title, early in 2022 when the Japanese brand made its shock decision to quit the series at the end of that year.
Of course, the decision is not done because we have different options to do. But the priority is that one.” Mir spoke last year that during his lay-off with injury following a crash at the Italian GP that he considered retiring, but that fear of failure kept him motivated for the challenge ahead. When Marc Marquez announced he’d be leaving, Mir stepped up to sound himself out as the leader HRC should be throwing its weight behind.
