MotoGP grid complete
The rider market is settling into a full reshuffle that stretches across the front of the field and through the satellite teams, with several major names already tied to new homes and one major holdover still in place. Ducati is retaining Marc Marquez through at least 2028, giving the marque a long-term anchor as the rest of the paddock resets around it. Pedro Acosta will move from KTM to the Ducati Lenovo seat, a switch that shifts one of the series’ biggest young talents into a factory Ducati role. Alex Marquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio are moving to KTM Factory, adding another pair of established riders to a team that is also part of the wider turnover. The picture that emerges will be a complete 2027 field with no loose ends left on the board. Every seat will be spoken for, and the lineup will read like a full market reset rather than a series of isolated moves.
Ducati moves reshape
The reshuffle also puts several factory and support programs into sharp relief. Aprilia has Marco Bezzecchi and Francesco Bagnaia signed as its rider pairing, a combination that gives the team a clear two-rider plan. Gresini is bringing in Joan Mir and Daniel Holgado, another notable change as the squad builds its next lineup. Trackhouse will pair Raul Fernandez with Enea Bastianini, giving that team a mix of experience and upside for the next cycle. Tech3 will add Luca Marini and Senna Agius, with Agius’s promotion closing out the grid and Marini providing the other half of the lineup. VR46 will feature Fermin Aldeguer alongside Nicolo Bulega, while Pramac Yamaha has Toprak Razgatlioglu and Izan Guevara confirmed. The breadth of those moves shows how widely the market is moving. No single team made a minor adjustment. Each of the confirmed pairings changes the shape of the class, and several of them bring together riders who had been linked to different paths earlier in the cycle.
Yamaha moves define
Yamaha’s lineup change stands among the clearest signs of how much the class has shifted. The manufacturer will hand the rides held by Fabio Quartararo and Alex Rins to Jorge Martin and Ai Ogura, a switch that brings two new names into the program and sends two established riders elsewhere in the reshuffle. Aprilia’s pairing of Bezzecchi and Bagnaia sits alongside that move as another headline change at the sharp end of the grid, while Pramac Yamaha’s confirmation of Razgatlioglu and Guevara rounds out a deep set of changes across the satellite landscape. By the time the dust settles, the 2027 lineup will feature a mix of familiar stars, new factory alignments and several high-profile promotions. The result will be a grid with all 22 seats filled and a clear map of where the major riders will land. Ducati keeps Marquez in place for the long term, Acosta moves into the Ducati Lenovo seat, Yamaha turns to Martin and Ogura, and the rest of the paddock falls into line around those decisions. The reshaped field will be set.
