The announcement comes during MotoGP’s summer break in a 2023 season that Mir would probably rather forget.
He has completed just one grand prix this year, and has missed the past three rounds due to a hand injury.
His arrival alongside Marc Marquez at Repsol Honda, after leaving Suzuki at the end of last year, represented a high-profile duo of ex-champions.
But perhaps only Marquez has endured a more miserable season so far than Mir.
Finally, though, there is optimism.
Mir is expected to be fit for MotoGP’s return on August 6 at Silverstone.
