Alberto Puig will move into a senior Honda HRC advisory position from 2027.
Honda MotoGP team manager Alberto Puig will transition to a senior advisory role with HRC starting in 2027. This move is seen as a promotion, elevating Puig’s position within the HRC hierarchy to oversee both MotoGP and WorldSBK operations. It aligns Puig with a strategic role similar to the one Davide Brivio was associated with at Le Mans recently. Puig’s shift creates an opening for the coveted HRC team manager position in the upcoming 850cc era, although Brivio’s potential candidacy for this role remains uncertain. Having led Honda through significant successes during Marc Marquez’s dominant reign, Puig’s vast experience and strategic vision are now geared towards shaping Honda HRC’s future endeavors and supporting its riders and staff in facing the challenges of racing.
