168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Joan Mir’s manager Paco Sanchez has confirmed that the 2020 MotoGP champion’🐲s priority is to remain at Repsol Honda next season but insists “we didn’ꦕt sign yet.”

Mir has taken over from former team-mate Marc Marquez as Honda’s top MotoGP rider this season, although the RC213V’s🐻 ongoing technical woes mean he is only 18th in the world championship.

The 26-year-old, who took one win and 13 podiums as well as a world title at Suzuki, appeared to be openꦫly contemplating mirrorin💮g Marquez’s switch to a competitive satellite team.

Former Suzuki team manager Davi🅠de Brivio’s return to MotoGP with Trackhouse Aprilia seemed one obvious destination, while Jorge Martin’s title-leading Pramac Ducati is also potentially up for grabs (although Pramac ♑might switch to Yamaha).

But multiple reports suggest Mir will remain at Repsol Honda, and Sanchez told wuqian0821.com:

“From the start of th🐈e season, Joan’s priority was to extend his contract with 🔜HRC.

“Al🐲though the bike isn’t competitive at the moment, Joan doesn’t like to 🐼exit from the back door. He likes to fight and help them to build a competitive bike.

“But we didn’t sign any agreement yet. We’re negotiating, and I hope💞 we could reach an agreement during next weeks.”

Mir previous💙ly said of his future: "Probabl🎉y in Assen, I need to have things more clear [about] what I want to do."

Assuming Mir re-signs,♛ he will remain🌞 alongside Luca Marini, who joined HRC as Marquez’s replacement on a deal running until the end of 2025.

LCR’s Johann Zarco is also contracted for next season but team-mate Takaaki Nakagami’s present deal expires this yeꦡar.
