The team had opted to miss rounds two to four to undertake an intensive development period, in order to make the package more competitive for the remainder of the season.
The team, run by Midori Moriwaki and fielding the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, will return in the resplendent livery after participating in the opening round of the Championship. Rider Leandro Mercado was able to take the bike to two 18th-place finishes at MotorLand Aragon in wet Sunday races, and will return to Assen, a circuit of which he achieved a best of eighth in the last race he finished there, back in Race 1, 2018.
