Somkiat Chantra to Replace Joan Mir at Honda for Japanese MotoGP

Joan Mir is set to miss the next two MotoGP races—the Japanese and Indonesian Grands Prix—due to injury.

In response, factory Honda has confirmed Somkiat Chantra as Mir’s replacement for the Japanese round.

Chantra’s participation is currently limited to the Japanese GP, as the Indonesian race at Mandalika clashes with other commitments.

This opportunity marks a significant return for Chantra to the premier class, stepping in for one of Honda’s key riders.

Further updates on Chantra’s involvement in subsequent rounds have yet to be announced.
