This season, starting from the opening round, the SOLIZE Group logo will appear on the front fenders of both machines ridden by Johann Zarco of Castrol Honda LCR and Diogo Moreira of Pro Honda LCR.
Since our founding, we have consistently driven innovation in the digitalization of manufacturing and digital engineering through the use of advanced digital technologies. We primarily provide services to development divisions in the two wheel and four wheel sectors of the automotive industry, and we have a large number of engineers with strong expertise in these fields.
This sponsorship agreement is intended mainly to enhance our outreach to stakeholders in the motorcycle industry, and we will continue to explore opportunities for technological contribution through racing activities.
■About Honda LCR
Honda LCR is a racing team headquartered in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Since 2006, the team has competed in MotoGP, the premier class of motorcycle racing. Johann Zarco of France will continue to race for Castrol Honda LCR following his 2025 season, while Brazil’s Diogo Moreira will make his full‑season MotoGP debut as a rider for Pro Honda LCR.
■Lucio Cecchinello, Honda LCR Team Principal
It is an honor to continue the partnership with SOLIZE Group. We started our collaboration last year, and from the very first moment, we realized that our values and goals are perfectly aligned. We had the opportunity to visit them at their technological headquarters, and it was a pleasure, a wonderful visit during which we discovered the highest level of 3D printers, capable of creating anything from scratch. We wish to grow and continue with such high-tech partners, as our championship delivers research and development in many fields that will later be transferred to the vehicle industries. SOLIZE Group’s contribution is very important to us, and we truly appreciate their support.
■Johann Zarco, Castrol Honda LCR Rider
I am very excited to have SOLIZE Group as a partner for another season. We had the chance to meet them in Japan a few months ago, and it was a special experience; I really enjoyed it. I saw the latest technology in 3D scanning and 3D printing, and they also gave me a small model of myself, printed live from a 3D scan. I’ve always loved having high-tech partners, as I’m a curious person, and getting the opportunity to discover their facilities was very interesting for me. Thanks for being on board, SOLIZE Group!
■Diogo Moreira, Pro Honda LCR Rider
SOLIZE Group is a great support for the team, and I am happy for that. I haven’t had the chance of visiting SOLIZE Group’s headquarters yet, but I look forward to it. In the meantime, I’m proud to display their brand on my bike, and I’ll do my best to represent their colours during the season. I’d like to thank SOLIZE Group for their solid contribution since last year. Let’s keep working hard!
