Will Joan Mir leave MotoGP at the end of the season? 🤔

- Опубликовано: 16 май 2024
- After spending his entire MotoGP career at Suzuki and winning the 2020 title, Joan Mir suddenly found himself needing a new team when the factory decided to quit at the end of 2022.
Now in the second and final year of his current Repsol Honda contract, the 26-year-old must make a similar call to former team-mate Marc Marquez:
Should Mir stay and bet on a Honda recovery or seek instant competitiveness by moving to a European bike, even if that means joining a satellite team?
“I have options on the table, but I don't really know what I want to do,” Mir said. “I need a bit more time, to understand, to take a good decision for my future. This is the reality.”
After 24 top-five finishes, including 13 podiums and a race win, at Suzuki, Mir scored just 26 points at Honda last season.
Of the six grand prix he finished, between accidents and injuries, the Spaniard’s best was a fifth place in India, his only top ten appearance.
While Mir is Honda’s top rider in the early 2024 standings, he has scored just twelve points and finished no higher than twelfth in a grand prix.
What does the future hold for the 2020 MotoGP World Champion? Let us know in the comments below.

He deserves better bike💯. He is definitely better rider than Oliveira and R. Fernandez.
Track house would be a good option for Mir. He kept his focus during a train wreck of a season with multiple distractions and changes every week. Would like to see him get a competitive chance.
Raul should definitely get the boot if Mir is up for that seat!
He a good replacement for either of the trackhouse guys in my opinion but probably Miguel comes with a lot of Portuguese sponsorship money.
No, Brivio wants him at Trackhouse and if anything Marini's contracts should be cut short.
Why ..he is too young...he should go to Aprilia trackhouse
Let’s hope 🤞

He's a little bit old
His stock has definitely dropped in the past year. Not because of his performance this year where he is the best Honda rider. But because Marquez was so much better last year on the same bike. But I think he still has decent options. If he cannot get an Aprilia or GasGas, which seem like long shots IMO, and the Ducati house will be almost certainly full in the next few weeks.
1. Yamaha. Rins isn't exactly comparing well to Fabio. Maybe Yamaha would like two former world champs to rebuild the team
2. Stay at Honda. As crazy as it sounds this may be a good choice if he has a good relationship with HRC and thinks they will improve. Not unlike Fabio choosing to stay at Yamaha.
3. WSBK top team. Hopping on Bautista's V4R (assuming he retires) would be a great option. Pairing with Toprak at BMW would be a great way to compare how Toprak compares to a great rider on the same bike. BMW joining GP in 2027 is also a consideration if he is successful in the mean time.
4. WSBK (Honda). Keep the HRC relationship going and build that team through 2025-26. And keep the door open for a return to GP if the '27 RC214V is good.
Stay with Honda, Joan Mir. The only sure bet is Pecco Bagnaia and Ducati. Honda has extra test runs this year and parts allocation. What could be better than that.
Another bike 😂
The Aprillia suits his riding style
He's Spanish so you better believe riding a Repsol honda is a dream come true regardless of performance.
I hope he extends and helps them build something competitive
A great rider, yes. Only, to keep the sport alive, we really need to be replacing old wood.
Look at what Acosta has brought this year. A great bike just waiting for an even better rider…
4 rookies on the grid. So the old ones must Go to Wsbk
Aprilia... DAVIDE Brivio,👍👍👍🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️
Mir to Trackhouse. They will treat him well, they will have a current 2025 factory bike that works well. I dont mean to sound cold, however, unless Raul and Miguel can be on the podium at least four times each by the end of the season, replace both of them. Second Trackhouse rider as Mir's teammate, well, that depends on how much money Trackhouse can invest and what sponsorship gets behind the team. Assuming they have both i would first try and get Bulega from World Superbike. I just dont see Joe Roberts getting the job done in MotoGP (and I'm an American). Is Zarco available for 2025? That would work. Digi would work. I love him but not Miller, it is time for him to transfer to a team test rider. Best of all if somehow available would be Enea Bastianini. That would be golden though i see him as more an Aprilia factory rider replacing Alexi if he transfers to team test rider.
Seems to be a move that could happen, we hope so 🤞
I think Mir and Roberts could be a likely lineup, personally
Check out Ben Spies interview with Keith Huewen. Great interview and he explains why it's hard to make it or not on GP bikes. It's taken Joe time but he can ride the proto-type bikes. Think he'd be a good fit for THRacing GP needs to see an American to increase viewership in the US. I don't think that alone will boost American followers, but that's the way they think.
@@user-ce7xw3fx6q we could certainly do with more, British riders as well! Joe Roberts seems like a really great guy, hopefully he can go to MotoGP
gasgas 37 replacement
i think no matter what team... he will never reach top 5! MotoGP become much more aggressive and Mir isn't .
Leaving would be a mistake unless Mir himself doesnt think he is competitive. Trackhouse on a 2025 Aprilia would be a good move on a good team and bike.
I'm glad to see many positive comments here, as Mir hate makes me sad. Hope to see him get something decent. You never know. Ducati gave Morbidelli a current spec Duc and guess who beat Morbidelli in his best year? Mir did.
His decision is up to him ....he chooses were to go...
Another rider that Honda retired. Without Marc Honda isn't going to do anything.
Joan is still young, let’s hope he can get sorted in the right direction for the future 💪
@@CrashMotoGP the problem that riders are having is there are so many young riders coming out of Moto 2. Unless you're a fantastic rider like Marc teams are going to pass you by and see if they can find the next Pedro. Even Marc had a hard time getting a ride at Ducati.
When Marc goes factory Mir should go Gresini
Joan Mir still has potential, he deserves latest spec bike, Aprilia Factory or trackhouse would suit him well
I think Morbidelli has worn out his welcome. Never fully recovered from the Zarco Redbullring incident.
@@johnnycajon4858 I think you're right but I've not been impressed by Fermin so far this season.
@@walksinthedarknessso you mean Sergio García must go to Ducati? I think he's fit in Honda or Aprilia
@@beetlesazer I don't think any of the current crop of Moto2 riders are good enough to get a MotoGP ride but I could see Ai Ogura taking Taka's ride at Idemitsu. Fermin's response to the tyre change hasn't been good and Garcia has only been good recently . It's still very early in the season but we'll see - Sergio had a good start when he almost won the Moto3 championship but then had a steep decline.
IMO he may lose the factory bike but do not be surprised if he rides for VR46 on a 2024 spec bike next year. Digi was only signed because all other riders were taken. He doesn't deserve to lose his place but I don't see him staying at VR46 next year even if he equals Bezz as is the case 1/3 through the year. Rossi seems to use the team to promote VR46 Academy riders only if given a choice. Otherwise Ducati would push for Aldeguer to go there an learn the Ducati (and probably from the old man himself).
Mir should look at Yamaha, still slow but it won't try and kill him every time he rides it.
I don't get why people say Olivera must be booted out. He has done crazy things on a KTM. Overshined Binder many times especially in 2021. 2024 hasn't been good for him but his potential is high.
If I were Aprilia I'd be pushing to get Mir in that trackhouse seat no matter what. If Aleix goes to the test spot promote Oliveira and give Mir the 2025 bike. If Aleix doesn't retire give him Fernandez's spot with a 2025 if possible, if not I'd give him a 2024 and have him and Oliveira compete for the 2026 bike.
The only new development for me if I was in Mir's position is the 2027 rule change if Honda is telling him "stay with us we've abandoned '25 and '26 and we're going to give you a brand new bike for '27 that's more advanced than anyone else could do" that might catch my attention.
Mir is a great rider.
He will be competativ again with the honda.
Honda need a real testrider that can do the
development of the bike and give mir some
help, He can not do it all by him self.
I don't think he thought that hard before he signed on with HONDA.
They have had big problems for quite a while and they have their work cut out before they can get back to the MIDDLE of the Grid, much less back to the front. Nobody will catch Ducati, Aprilia or KTM & GasGas for quite a while... 😢
There is a regulation change after 2026 that could cdrtainly shake things up. Totally possible for Honda to be back then.
How do WSB teams view MotoGP riders? Do they actively recruit MotoGP riders?
There have been many GP winners move to WSBK. Hayden is the only champion to ride in the series. I would think he would be highly sought if he was open to the move. He wouldn't make the same money though.
I think Miguel has outstayed his welcome.
Track House has its eye on Joe Robert's. I believe Miguel will stay along side Robert's. I don't see a guys that's won a championship with a lucky win going to a factory seat. Think hers showed the field that was lucky cause it's never come around again. Rins was able to win on the Honda at LCR. Happy to see him at Yamaha he's a great rider with good feedback that Honda wouldn't listen to. Mir had his moments in moto 3 and we really haven't seen him like that except 1 year he won the championship.
I'm not convinced Roberts would be an improvement over Fernandez. The question is if we have seen the best from Fernandez yet or not.
honda have to get back on track, because they harm a lot of riders carrers
Honda MotoGP Team where careers go to die.
It is the best team in MotoGp they have won more races than any other factory team, they will be back very strong.
@@user-ce7xw3fx6q You are talking out your backside
Marc was world champion on a bad honda in 2019
He developed nothing you might have missed it but he destroyed his shoulder and wasn't around for a long time
Honda Repsol went to shit in his absence while Ducati developed an unbeatable package
It's not just the engine riders aren't engineers they test parts and upgrades developed by the manufacturer if it benefits the team leader and he approves it's good it works then that's what they go with.
It isn't rocket science these are motorbikes
He's probably the most skilled rider in history why TF would you get rid of him
Your a casual
Marc tried to develop
Should have listened to casey F off
I think Aleix will retire then Oliviera moves up to Factory opening a seat for Mir
Yes he needs to go. He rather crash then finish a race and blame it on the bike but yet at the end of Suzuki he was doing the same.
Yes
give that man a ducati!
He deserves a chance with a competetive bike
Oliveira to aprillia and mir retakes his spot in trackhouse
Go to WSBK, he's not going to win a title again in Moto GP.
No, he is too good for WSBK. He should go to Trackhouse. The key is to get on an Aprilia RS-GP, I consider that as the second best bike on the grid after the GP24. One thing for sure he must leave Honda. No amount of money can compensate for that losing and hopeless feeling in riding a complete lemon at Honda. It is rumoured even Marini can't handle it. I am sure he thought it was a great idea at the time to get paid and to ride for a factory team granted a terrible factory team. Again, like Mir he wants out too and the chances are they could be fighting for the same seat at Trackhouse or they could even form the new pairing there.
To good for WSBK? Come on. Those guys are as good as Joan Mir. Toprak, Rea, Bautista, etc. It's a good place for him. If he had the right bike that is.
@@jasonking4209 LOL. You are kidding right? You mean you didn't watch Bautista with his wildcard ride in Sepang last season? The guy absolutely killed it in WSBK last year and the moment he had to go up against the MotoGP boys, he got completely destroyed. Apart from the DNFs, he came second to last, +53.564" behind the winner. Plus, he was riding a Desmo, by far the best bike on the grid.
@Rascallucci Bro, that's one race, they don't have the time to get the bike setup exactly for him to be up front. Not to mention how close they already are. Bautista rode in MotoGP for a long time. If the bike isn't perfect then it doesn't matter who's on it. They won't be at the front. It doesn't mean he's not as good as the next guy.
@@jasonking4209 Am I missing something here? Typically, when a MotoGP gets old and slower, he goes to WSBK. That is a well known fact. Bautista was out of a ride because he was no longer competitive in MotoGP, so he moved "down" to WSBK.
@@Rascallucci Bautista was injured and could barely move his head. If it wasn't a one-time chance on that specific weekend he would have probably sat out the race.
Bautista was a consistent top 10 rider in GP back in the day when he had a decent bike.
😂😂😂😂aleix espargaro should leave the soonest
Not this guy
This guy is let alone a world champion
He’s not THAT good or he’d be at the front one way or another. Like Marquez
Joan mir the forgotten world champion
Not many MotoGP riders available in the market. It will be reshuffle so he will get to ride somewhere else if he leaves Honda.
Uhh... don't you mean "There's not many MotoGp Rides" available... there is a LONG, STEADY LINE OF RIDERS available from Moto2 and Moto3 on the way to MotoGp... I'm looking forward to see what Joe Robert's might do if he is offered a Trackhouse Ride..! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
All but a handful of riders are unsigned for next year as of mid-May. But with a finite number of GP bikes and at least one (Aldeguer) rider moving up, at least one current GP rider will be without a ride next year.
The only other Moto2 rider that might move up is Roberts, although I don't think he will set the world on fire if he does. Ogura may replace Taki but that bike seems reserved exclusively for Japanese riders.
So what current rider(s) will be out of MotoGP next year??? In order of likelihood IMO
Augusto Fernandez (Acosta makes him look very bad on the same bike)
Raul Fernandez (may get caught out in the contract cycle if Trackhouse sign Roberts/Mir/Miller/AMarquez etc)
Taki Nakagami (floundering on the Honda. If he is fired he will be replaced by Ogura)
Fabio DiGianntonio (I read nothing about where he may go, don't see him staying at VR46)
Joan Mir (it would be his choice to take a sabbatical or move to another series)
Aleix Espargaro (retirement, either encouraged or voluntary)
Franco Morbidelli (if his results do not improve he may call it quits)
Alex Marquez (may get caught out in contract signing timing)
He'll be lucky if he has a ride at all, hes no good
😅😅
Joan mir is an overated Rider... that's all
He should retire. He had so much crashed last years, lost his confidence. Good teams are not interested in him. He won Moto3 WC, MotoGP WC ,earned few million dollar and should enjoy his life.
Clown comment.
Him and Rins are so screwed over by motogp. They both older riders comming from a somewhat competitive bike to two of the biggest s hit bikes on the grid
