Álvaro Bautista
In 2012, Honda fielded two factory RC213Vs, ridden by Repsol Honda teammates Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa; a third and fourth was used by Álvaro Bautista in the Gresini Racing team, and Stefan Bradl in the LCR team. Jonathan Rea also competed in two Grands Prix as a replacement rider for Casey Stoner, following his crash at Indianapolis.
