A New Line-Up, A New Era
The team has announced a fresh lineup for the upcoming season, featuring Joan Mir and Dani Holgado. Mir, a seasoned veteran with two world titles under his belt (MotoGP in 2020 and Moto3 in 2017), brings a wealth of experience to the team. Holgado, a young talent who finished as Moto3 World Championship runner-up in 2024 and is currently in the Moto2 title fight, adds a spark of youthful energy and ambition.
Mir's contract with Honda is set to expire on December 31, 2026, after which he will be free to make statements about his future. This transition period is an opportunity for the team to build momentum and prepare for the next chapter.
A Strong Partnership with Ducati Corse
The collaboration with Ducati Corse has been a cornerstone of the team's success, and it has been extended for multiple years. This partnership, built on shared values, technical expertise, and a commitment to ambitious goals, has yielded impressive results. Ducati Corse's official factory bike will be available to Mir, further solidifying the team's capabilities.
A Thank You to the Departing Riders
The team is bidding farewell to Alex and Fermin, two riders who have contributed significantly to the team's success and fostered positive human relationships. Their dedication and achievements will be remembered, and the team wishes them the best for their future endeavors.
Looking Ahead
As the team embarks on this new journey, the focus is on growth and development. With a renewed lineup and a strong partnership, the BK8 Gresini MotoGP Team is poised to make a significant impact in the 2027 season and beyond. The future looks bright, and the team's dedication to continuous improvement is a testament to their commitment to success.
