Japanese Rider Ryo Mizuno will Compete In His First Season On British Soil For Honda Racing along-side Glenn Irwin.

Honda Racing will be hoping to repeat the success with 22-year-old Ryo Mizuno that they had with fellow country man Ryuichi Kiyonari. Honda won three championships with Kiyonari out of his seven seasons with them; racking up an impressive total of 43 wins for Honda.

Ryo has had previous championship success winning the All-Japan J-GP3 Championship in 2015 and the All-Japan J-GP2 Championship in 2017. He has made appearances in the The Moto2 and Moto3 Grand Prix Championships. In 2019 he took part in the Suzuka 8 Hours and put in some impressive lap times finishing in seventh place in the standings for the works-backed MuSASHI RT HARC_PRO Team.

Both Honda riders took part in testing at Portimao back in November, both riders and team came back to England with positive feed back from the testing, Ryo shadowed Glenn for numerous laps around the Portuguese circuit getting to grips with the Honda Fireblade again.

Team Manager Havier Beltran is excited to see what Ryo can do for the team as Honda have a very good track record with Japanese riders.
