Repsol will become the official lubricant supplier for Moto2 and Moto3 in 2026
Repsol, the former Honda factory team title sponsor, is set to return to the MotoGP paddock in 2026 as the new lubricant supplier for Moto2 and Moto3. The Spanish oil giant has a long and successful history with Honda, dating back to 1995. Their partnership saw Honda winning multiple world titles with riders like Mick Doohan, Marc Marquez, and Valentino Rossi. After parting ways in 2024 and Honda switching to Castrol, Repsol will now take over as the sole lubricant supplier for Moto2 and Moto3, replacing Liqui Moly. The Repsol branding will be seen on all Moto2 and Moto3 bikes in the upcoming season, showcasing their commitment to excellence in the sport. This move not only signifies Repsol’s re-entry as a key player in MotoGP but also aligns with the growth and development plans of the series under new owner Liberty Media.
