Honda's "Pro Honda LCR" will be fully entered in MotoGP for the 2026 season!

Honda has renewed its sponsorship agreement with LCR Honda, currently competing in MotoGP, and has decided on its entry structure for the 2026 season. In 2026, LCR Honda will have two machines: the "CASTROL Honda LCR" with Johann Zarco and the "Pro Honda LCR" bearing the Honda genuine oil and chemical brand. The highlight of the event will be Diogo Moreira, who will be moving up from the "Pro Honda LCR" to the highest class.
