2026 Preview: The Wildest Silly Season Yet?

Marco Bezzecchi is staying put. Marc Marquez will, too. After that – nearly everone else is on the move in what promises to be a crazy Silly Season. But do riders know what they are getting into for 2027? I analyze all the rumors, and talk about who is headed to the right place to start the 850cc MotoGP era.

The Rundown:

– Silly Season – this time, it will truly be silly!
– Into the unknown: 2027 brings opportunity, but also uncertainty about which bikes will be best
– Confirmed: Marco Bezzecchi is married to the idea of Aprilia
– Confirmed: Marc will be with Ducati – but is he hedging for Honda, or retirement in the future?
– MotoGP Silly Season Rumors:
– Pedro Acosta – nobody is surprised, Ducati gets what they are looking for
– Pecco Bagnaia doesn’t want Yamaha money, Jorge Martin does 
– Fabio Quartararo could be Honda’s secret weapon
– KTM and a pair of riders set to take a big chance on each other. 

There is still more to come! Tuesday we talk testing and manufacturer prospects heading into 2026, and Wednesday look for a preview of theThaiGP!
