With Marc Márquez leaving at the end of 2023, Joan Mir will necessarily have a new teammate at Repsol Honda for the next season. At this moment, nothing has been officially announced, although there are some rumored names for the vacant spot.
When asked about the characteristics he would like to see in his next teammate, the rider from Palma de Mallorca admitted that he would prefer someone with speed and experience. However, he emphasized that he doesn’t give too much importance to who his teammate is:
– In terms of help, the experience always help. I think now in this project the experience and fresh air will always help. But when you ask me this question, I don’t know what to say honestly, because I don’t care about the other rider. But it’s true that if you try to be selfish you want a fast rider with experience, because it can help me to be even faster. So, it’s what I expect.
