Joan Mir’s rise through the world of motorcycle racing hasn’t followed a typical script—and that’s part of what makes his story inspiring. Born in Palma de Mallorca, he didn’t come from a family of racers, but a chance encounter with the sport set everything in motion. What followed was a steady climb through the ranks, marked by hard work, smart decisions on the track, and a strong focus.
In 2017, he won the Moto3 World Championship. Just three years later, he stunned everyone by clinching the MotoGP title – Suzuki’s first in two decades. Mir’s strength isn’t just in speed; it’s in how he reads a race, adapts, and makes each moment count. Now with HONDA HRC CASTROL, he continues to bring quiet intensity and experience to every lap.
