MotoGP 2027 Rider Lineup: Latest Confirmations from All Teams

The 2026 MotoGP season is still underway, but the paddock is already buzzing with news about the 2027 rider lineup. Several teams have announced their rider lineups, while others are still playing with speculation. Here is a complete summary of who is already confirmed to wear new colors next season.

Confirmed News from Factory Garages

Ducati Lenovo Team was the first team to lock in its lineup. Seven-time world champion Marc Marquez will stay until 2028, and he will be paired with Pedro Acosta, who moves from KTM. This move clearly signals Ducati's ambition to maintain dominance.

Aprilia Racing is equally aggressive. Marco Bezzecchi has been signed to a multi-year contract, and Francesco Bagnaia was confirmed as his teammate since the Dutch GP. Bagnaia, who was once in doubt, now has a long-term project in Noale.

Meanwhile, Yamaha is undergoing a major revolution. Fabio Quartararo and Alex Rins are confirmed to leave, replaced by Jorge Martin and Ai Ogura. Martin, the 2024 world champion, is expected to bring new excitement to the tuning fork team.

Changes at Satellite Teams and Other Factories

BK8 Gresini Racing chooses a mix of experience and youth: Joan Mir pairs with rookie Daniel Holgado. On the other side, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing loses Acosta but welcomes Alex Marquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio.

Honda HRC Castrol is still waiting to announce Fabio Quartararo's teammate. Team management also changes, with Alberto Puig stepping down and being replaced by Mikihiko Kawase. Meanwhile, at LCR, Johann Zarco is already secured, but David Alonso and Diogo Moreira remain uncertain.

Superfile Trackhouse retains Raul Fernandez until 2028, but his teammate is unclear after Ai Ogura left. At VR46 and Tech3, there is no certainty yet, while Pramac Yamaha still holds great mystery, including Toprak Razgatlioglu's test with the 850cc prototype.

With many contracts unsigned, the 2027 rider market will surely heat up. Will there be surprises in the remainder of the season? We'll wait and see.
