The Honda HRC Castrol team make the move to the UK with Luca Marini and Joan Mir both aiming to improve from their French GP performances.
Known for its history and heritage, the British GP sits as one of the gems in the MotoGP World Championship calendar. Shifted to earlier in the year for the 2025 campaign, this year’s trip to Silverstone will likely produce less questions about the English weather and focus more on the succession of different race winners around the 5.9-kilometer-long circuit.
The only rider to score points in every GP so far this year, Luca Marini currently sits 13th in the World Championship standings and just six points from the top ten. Continuing this consistency is a solid base for the #10, but Marini is focused on making the next step with the ever-improving Honda RC213V and battling further into the top ten. The races in Silverstone have traditionally brought a steady flow of points for Marini with seventh in 2023 his best premier class finish at the track.
Joan Mir spent the week between races focusing on recovery after his heavy fall in the opening lap of the French GP. Working closely with his physio, the #36 is ready to remount his Honda and pick up where he left off in France. Mir’s speed is undeniable and the 2020 MotoGP World Champion needs just a little more luck to deliver.
Honda HRC’s efforts will be boosted once again by the Honda HRC Test Team who make their third appearance of the year, the #41 of Aleix Espargaro returning to the controls of the Honda RC213V.
