Former MotoGP champion Joan Mir has made the decisive choice to leave Honda after receiving no clear updates regarding his future with the factory team.
The Spanish rider grew increasingly frustrated with the lack of communication and direction from management, prompting him to take control of his own career path.
Mir’s decision comes amidst a prolonged period of poor performance and technical struggles with the uncompetitive Honda RC213V bike.
By entering the rider market, Mir becomes one of the most high-profile free agents available, sparking immediate interest from rival teams looking for a proven champion.
Honda must now search for a replacement rider capable of handling their notoriously difficult machine for the upcoming seasons.
The move marks the end of a challenging partnership, with Mir now focusing on securing a competitive project where he can return to fighting for podiums.
