In the 2027 MotoGP season, world champion Joan Mir will race on the Ducati Desmosedici motorcycle for the BK8 Gresini Racing team. This transfer news indicates that the Spanish rider is stepping into a new era after completing his Repsol Honda career.
The team for whom Joan Mir, one of the most prestigious names in the world of MotoGP, will compete in the 2027 season has been officially announced. The Spanish rider is moving from the four-season tenure at Repsol Honda to the Ducati Desmosedici motorcycle for BK8 Gresini Racing. This development signals a significant change in the dynamic structure of MotoGP competition.
The Team's New Structure and Vision
Nadia Padovani, the owner of the Gresini team, shared details about the reshuffled squad. Padovani emphasized that while the essence of the teams will remain the same, the development strategy will change from season to season.
“Many things will change starting from next year, but the core of the BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP Team will remain the same. We continue to be a team that grows from season to season, and in 2027, we will do this with two riders whom we have great confidence in and are ready to give our full support.”
Padovani also commented on Mir, preferring to speak based on his past: “Joan is a MotoGP World Champion. He speaks about his own history.”
The Repsol Honda Era and Performance Analysis
Joan Mir’s four-year period with Repsol Honda has officially ended. During this time, the rider's performance was limited due to technical issues. Specifically, chronic development problems on the Honda RC213V motorcycle and the lack of grip on the rear tire negatively affected Mir’s race performance. These difficulties in the rider's career may reach a turning point with the new transfer.
Mir's achievements in his last season also draw attention. Despite securing two third-place finishes in the 2025 season, he missed the podium at the 2026 Barcelona race due to a tire pressure penalty. This situation highlights the difficulties the rider faces in the competitive environment. It remains to be seen how the new team will manage these experiences.
Gresini's Transfer Dynamics
BK8 Gresini Racing is shaping its new squad through the transfer period. The official transfer of Dani Holgado, Mir's teammate for the 2027 season, was announced on July 2nd. This development shows the team's effort to establish a dynamic structure with new riders.
Gresini’s current riders, Alex Marquez and Fermin Aldeguer, are moving to different teams. Alex Marquez and Fermin Aldeguer are expected to move to teams such as Red Bull KTM and VR46 Racing Team, respectively; however, these transfers have not yet been finalized.
Potential New Duos
The vacant Repsol Honda seat left by Mir brings new scenarios to the MotoGP world. The possibility of the 2021 World Champion, who left Yamaha, returning to Honda is strengthened. At the same time, there is talk of the Brazilian rider Diogo Moreira from LCR Honda potentially moving up to the factory team if Luca Marini departs. If this scenario occurs, it is possible that Honda will field the pairing of Quartararo and Moreira in the 2027 season.
