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 announced yet, although there are some speculated names for the position.
Asked about the characteristics he would like to see in his next teammate, the rider from Palma de Mallorca admitted that he would like someone with speed and experience – although he emphasizes that he doesn’t give much importance to who the other team member is.
– In terms of assistance, experience always helps. I believe that now in this project, experience and fresh air will always help. But when they ask me this question, I honestly don’t know what to say, because I don’t worry about the other rider. But it is true that if you try to be selfish, you want a fast and experienced rider, because it can help me be even faster. So, that’s what I hope for.
