Joan Mir, who has been with Honda's factory MotoGP team since 2023, is advocating for a contract renewal for the 2027 season. He believes his recent performances, including podium finishes at Motegi and Sepang, justify his place on the team alongside the newly signed Fabio Quartararo. However, both Mir and teammate Luca Marini face uncertainty regarding their futures, as Honda considers expanding its roster to six bikes, potentially complicating their positions. Mir stated, “I don't think I'd deserve to race for any team other than the official Honda team,” emphasizing his commitment to the factory setup. He expressed confidence in his ability to deliver strong results when the bike is competitive and highlighted the importance of motivation in his career. The decision on the 2027 lineup remains challenging for Honda, as both Mir and Marini bring different strengths to the table. Mir aims to continue his journey with Honda, hoping to build on the progress made in recent years.
