The Solidarity Grand Prix marked the end of a historic alliance in the world of motorsport between Repsol and Honda HRC. During the 30 years working hand in hand, Repsol Honda has seen the best riders in the premier class pass through its team, wearing its colours along a path full of successes and joint learning: 15 world titles, 183 victories, 455 podiums and 30 years writing MotoGP history together.
Repsol would like to thank Honda for the trust placed in them throughout this journey, which has transcended the sponsorship itself, becoming a true collaboration between two great companies.
Joan Mir – DNF: “I was pushing incredibly hard during the race after making a good start, I was feeling good and doing everything I could to close to the group in the top ten. Finally, I pushed too much, and I fell which is a big shame because we can see that there were good points on the table. Everyone is working hard to come back, and today I wanted to show that I am 100% committed to being fast and to fighting for everything possible. We now start to look to 2025 already, first with the test on Tuesday before some more outings before the end of the year. Our work does not stop, we keep on doing everything we can.”
Luca Marini – 16º: “The key point of today is to compare our performance from May to today, and I think when we do that, we can see that we have made a good step forward. Barcelona is always a tough circuit for us, so this limited our performance a bit today. This year has been all about making progress, both with the bike and with myself – there is still more to do but we are going in the correct direction. I am looking forward to this winter to keep working on the project that we have started and attacking again in 2025, to help Honda return to the top.”
