Joan Mir confirmed he made the decision to leave Honda at the Jerez Grand Prix last month. Mir said Honda gave him no news about his future at Jerez and that he does not deserve that, adding it was for that reason he decided he did not want to continue there. Gresini Ducati is his most likely destination for 2027, where he could reunite with his title winning Suzuki crew chief Frankie Carchedi. Honda’s rebuild leaves another champion behind.
