With the new 850cc era on the horizon, the MotoGP paddock is buzzing with contract announcements that are reshaping the competitive landscape. Over the past few weeks, top riders have secured their futures, and the 2027 grid is now coming into focus. While a few seats remain open, the major teams are nearly set.
Ducati Lenovo Team will be the center of attention with the pairing of Marc Marquez and Pedro Acosta. Marquez, a nine-time world champion, extended his contract through 2028, while Acosta steps up after a tough stint at KTM. This combination instantly makes Ducati the favorite to continue their dominance.
At VR46, Fermin Aldeguer gets a major upgrade: a new deal until 2028 plus factory-spec machinery. However, his teammate remains unannounced, with Nicolo Bulega tipped as the strongest candidate. Meanwhile, Gresini Racing blends the experience of Joan Mir with the raw talent of rookie Dani Holgado, ready to spring surprises in the premier class.
Aprilia Racing forms an all-Italian lineup with Marco Bezzecchi and Pecco Bagnaia. Bagnaia signed a four-year contract, the longest in the paddock, showing Noale's big ambitions. On the other side, Trackhouse Aprilia will field Raul Fernandez and Enea Bastianini, both tied until 2028 after tough negotiations.
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing undergoes a major overhaul by signing Alex Marquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio, both leaving Ducati to become factory riders. Meanwhile, Tech3 is still awaiting confirmation, with Luca Marini rumored to join. With all these changes, the 850cc era promises intense competition.
