Honda and Repsol renew deal

From the Honda Racing Team

HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) has announced that it has reached a new agreement with Repsol to continue as the title sponsor of the factory Honda Team in MotoGP.

The new deal for the 2010 season cements one of the strongest and longest running partnerships in motor sport - a collaboration which began in 1995 and has brought nine World Championships, 98 race victories and has made Repsol Honda race machines instantly recognizable to fans across the globe. 

Dani Pedrosa from Spain and Italian Andrea Dovizioso will form the rider line-up for a second successive year.

Repsol is the official competition fuel supplier for the Repsol Honda Team, thanks to its development of specific fuel produced in the Repsol Technological Centre.

“I am very pleased that Repsol and HRC will once again be joining forces for the 2010 season, said Tetsuo Suzuki, HRC president. "In the last 15 years we have achieved many great accomplishments in the world’s premier motorcycle racing series by fighting together with Repsol as our trusted and reliable partner. In recent times, we have missed out on the goal we always set ourselves: winning the World Championship. However, next season, the Repsol Honda Team will fight to retake the World title with renewed energy and total determination.”
