Mir said: "We’ve had a good break with a little time to relax and lots o🙈f time to train and prepare for the second part of the season. 

"I’m very pleased to have my future with HRC confirmed and it’s another boost as we e🌠nter this intense push until the end🎉 of the season. 

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

"But wh⛎at really matt🌠ers is the progress we make, the focus and objectives remain the same as always.”

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

For Marini, steady i🐠mprovements have been made lately, and the Italian is hopin🧸g to continue that at Silverstone. 

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

"Silverstone is a complex track, very long wi🐠th many different sections – a good way to asses🐻s ourselves. 

"It will be special with the 75th anni𒐪versary, 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.”
