Joan Mir secured his MotoGP future with Repsol Honda last wඣeek, signing a new two-year deal with the 😼Japanese brand.

Now set for the🎃 British grand prix at Silverstone, Mir admitted the new contract agreement is a 'boost' in what's been a dreadful second campaign with Honda.

Mir said: "We’ve had a good break wi꧅th a little time to relax and lots of time to train and prepare for the second part of the season. 

"I’m very pleased to have my future with HဣRC confirmed and it’s another boost as we enter this intense push until the ꦓend of the season. 

"🌊Silverstone this year will be amazing with all the special liveries, I have to say our one is probably the most beautiful MotoGP 💧I have seen! 

"But what really matters is t🍌he progress we make, the🧔 focus and objectives remain the same as always.”

Mir's new deal put🍷s him ahead of team-mate Luca Marini and LCR rider Johann 💧Zarco, both of whom are contracted untilt the end of 2025. 

For Marini, steady improvements have been made lately, and the 🥂Italian is hoping to continue that at Silverstone🉐. 

Marini added: “I am looking forward to getting back with the team at Silverstone,🍌 to see what has been done during the break and 💛what the plan is for the upcoming races. 

"Silverstone is a complex track, very💯 long with ma🌞ny different sections – a good way to assess ourselves. 

"It will be special with the 75th anniversary, I’m really excited to wear the colours we have designed and I hope we can put in a good 🐠performance and build on our races before the summer.”
