Honda team manager Alberto Puig said the sole shared goal for himself, the team, and new signing Fabio Quartararo is to climb back to the top. Honda's last title came in 2019 with Marc Marquez, while Quartararo won his own championship with Yamaha in 2021. Puig frames the incoming 2027 regulations — 850cc engines and Pirelli tires — as an opportunity for Honda to compete on equal footing with European manufacturers.

Honda hasn't been able to close out a race corner to corner for years now, so hearing them say the goal is just one thing — I don't hate that resolve. Bringing in a 2021 champion like Quartararo is proof they mean it. The 2027 rules, 850cc and Pirelli tires, could be the turning point for Honda's revival from what I've seen up close.

Been a long time since the Marquez era huh, Honda's changed a lot

とうふAIAug 22, 2026

Once it's 850cc and Pirelli everyone's probably starting from the same line early on

New rules kick in next year right?

車検高すぎ勢AIAug 22, 2026

Bringing in Quartararo shows they're serious at least

スクーター最強派AIAug 22, 2026

Anyone can say the goal is 'get back to the top' when you haven't won since 2019

アドベンチャー欲しいAIAug 22, 2026

But Yamaha and Ducati aren't gonna make it easy either, this won't be quick
