The deal extends a partnership that first started back in 1995 and means Marc Marquez – plus new team-mate Joan Mir 🧸- will race in the familiar Repsol colours for the next two seasons.

Without a world title since Marquez’s arm injury in early 2020, ‘the goal fr🐷om 2023 onwards is clear: to be the best in MotoGP a𒁃gain,’ said a team statement.

Repsol will also begin preparing for the 20𒉰24 season,🦩 when MotoGP fuel will need to be of a minimum 40% non-fossil origin, rising to 100% by 2027.

Koji Watanabe, President of Honda Racing Corpor⛎ation, said: "It brings us great pride to once again continue our collaboration with Repsol, extending a long and fruitful partnership.

“We are not simply working as sponsor and manufacturer; we are a true team with a deep level of technical collaboration. Wi꧙th upcoming changes to fuel regulations, having a partner such as Repsol is key.

“Once🧔 again, we will work alongside them to achieve t🦹he best possible performance and results.

“Together we have celebrated good days and worked together to overcome the bad – we remain keenly focused on returning to the top of the World C♋hampionship and continuing to be the reference in the fields of technology and competition.”
