Former world champion Joan Mir has agreed to ride for Honda for 2023 and 2024, while Miguel Oliveira and Raul Fernandez will join Aprilia-RNF, as the chain of MotoGP seat changes continued on Tuesday.
Mir, who won the title in 2020, did not have a ride for next season, because his current team Suzuki is quitting MotoGP.
At Honda, Mir, who turns 25 on September 1, will be one half of a potentially potent dreamteam. His teammate, fellow Spaniard Marquez, has six world titles but is still battling back from a 2020 crash which saw him undergoing a fourth operation on his right arm at the beginning of June. "We will take advantage of all my experience accumulated over the years in MotoGP with Suzuki to contribute as much as possible to the project and to fight together to become world champions again," he said in the Honda statement released on Tuesday.
