Honda HRC Castrol ready to carry on work in France

Fanatical fans and record-breaking crowds are on the horizon for Luca Marini and Joan Mir as the duo continue their 2025 campaign onto the French GP.

Aiming to build on a successful post-race test in Jerez, the Honda HRC Castrol team head for France and the legendary Le Mans circuit for round six of the rapidly progressing 2025 season. Known for its passionate fans, the French GP captures what makes MotoGP unique in the world of sport and is always a memorable weekend.

Fresh off his fourth-straight top ten finish, Luca Marini arrives at the 4.19 kilometre Le Mans Circuit with his incredible consistency continuing. Able to always make forward progress in the races, and especially on Sundays, the Italian is targeting further improvements in Qualifying. Besting last year’s French GP result shouldn’t be a problem for the #10.

After another weekend battling for the top six, Joan Mir once again proved he has the speed to be the fastest of the Honda riders last time out. Converting this potential into the points is the main objective of the French GP weekend for the #36. Able to consistently feature in Q2, Mir is looking to continue this trend as the Honda RC213V continues to improve and evolve.

Their efforts will be boosted by Takaaki Nakagami who joins the Honda HRC Test Team as a wildcard.
