Dovizioso and Repsol contracts renewed at Honda

8 November 2010

The Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) has revealed that MotoGP team title sponsor Repsol has signed a new two-year contract. Monday’s announcement also confirms that Andrea Dovizioso will remain on-board in 2011 to form a three-bike line-up alongside Dani Pedrosa and new arrival Casey Stoner.

The statement rekindles a piece of history for the Japanese team, which last ran three riders – Mick Doohan, Alex Crivillé and Shinichi Ito - when it joined forces with Spanish oil and gas company Repsol back in 1995.

“Honda’s partnership with Repsol has been long and successful and we are very proud to be together again for this challenge into the future. We are also very pleased to expand the Repsol Honda Team to once again include three riders next year.

“Our current riders Dani Pedrosa and Andrea Dovizioso will be joined by Casey Stoner, all racing in Repsol Honda colours, to form a truly formidable line-up that we believe can fight for victory at every race and achieve our joint goals, recapturing all three MotoGP World Championship titles.”
