Alberto Puig appointed Honda Racing Corporation Advisor from 2027
After almost a decade as Team Manager for Honda HRC’s factory MotoGP team, Alberto Puig will take up a key advisory role for Honda HRC from 2027.
Honda Racing Corporation will continue to utilise Alberto Puig’s four decades of Grand Prix racing experience as the 59-year-old Barcelona-native transitions to a new role within Honda HRC. Appointed Team Manager of Honda HRC’s factory team in 2018, Puig guided the squad to back-to-back Triple Crowns. The new role will see Puig continue to assist Honda HRC management and staff with a number of tasks across all of Honda’s two-wheeled racing activities. As HRC Advisor, Puig will continue to help shape HRC’s youth development programs while simultaneously bolstering Honda’s efforts in the MotoGP and WorldSBK championships by supporting management staff and riders by assessing the overall picture of Honda HRC’s two-wheeled activities.
“I first stepped into the World Championship paddock in 1987 and since then I have been a racer, worked with young riders, a rider manager and a team manager – always with Honda. During this time, I have experienced many moments, positive and negative, all of which have given me valuable knowledge on how to work with riders, people and different situations. It’s been a life of leading from the front and now I feel my skills are best suited to look at the overall picture. I am looking forward to using my experience in this new opportunity to help Honda HRC, its riders and its staff to grow and face all the challenges and successes which racing presents.”
