The LCR MotoGP꧑ team is set to remain a Honda satellite into the series’ new rules cycle in 2027, according 🉐to reports in Italian media.

The Lucio Cecchinello-helmed outfit has been in MotoGP since 2006, partnering with Honda to field ꦰCasey Stoner in the double world champion’s rookie campaign.

Ever since, LCR has been a loyal Honda customer and in recent years has forged even closer ti💜es with the Japanese manufacturer.

LCR𝔍 has celebrated MotoGP wins with Honda in 2016 and 2018 with Cal Crutchlow, and again in 2023 with Alex Rins.

After five rounds in 2025, LCR’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Johann Zarco is Honda’s leading rider♉ in the championship in seventh on 43 points and has regularly been the fastest HRC rider at rounds this year.

In an interview with Italy’s GPOne, C🙈ecchinello revealed that it ren▨ewed its current deal with Honda through to the end of 2026 and has an option for 2027 pending signing the new agreement with Dorna Sports.

“Our contract with HRC expired at the end of 2024,” Cecchinello told the 🅠respected GPOne publication.

“But we already renewed the contract last winter for the next ౠtwo years, 2025 and 2026.

“We also have deal with HRC for 2027, but it’ll only take eꦏffect after LCR Racing ♎has been accepted by Dorna for the MotoGP years after 2027.

“And therefore will also be part of the MotoGP grid for f𒁃ive years, from 2027 to 2031.”

The teams and manufacturers currently participating in MotoGP sign an agreement wit🌸h championship organ🎉iser Dorna to race in the championship.

These agreements typically last five years, wi𒐪th the current deal in place expiring at the end of 2026.

The next agreement between the teams and Dorna will be for the beginning of a new era in MotoꦆGP, when the championship switches from 1000cc engines to an 850cc formula.

The new regulatio♓ns will also see aerodynamics stripped back and ride height devices banned.

Hജonda will be looking to use the new regulations as a springboard back into being title contenders, after a difficult few years towards the end of the current rules cycle.

Its start to 2025, however, has been impressive, with Zarco scoring the marque’s first top five since 2023𝔉 at the Qatar GP last month.
