Bidding war erupts for future MotoGP star criticised for ‘riding on desperation’
Moto2 star Diogo Moreira is attracting attention from multiple MotoGP manufacturers, with Yamaha as the frontrunner, as reported by the Spanish media.
Having shown impressive performance in the 2025 Moto2 season, including his first victory at the Dutch Grand Prix, the 21-year-old Brazilian is seen as a rising talent in the paddock.
There is speculation that Moreira might debut in MotoGP within the next two years, with Yamaha particularly interested in securing him.
However, Yamaha’s current lineup presents challenges, with Quartararo and Rins signed until 2026, potentially complicating Moreira’s placement.
Other manufacturers like Aprilia, KTM, and Ducati are also eyeing Moreira, offering diverse possibilities for his future in the premier class.
Despite the attention, Moreira faced criticism for his aggressive racing style at the Sachsenring Moto2 Grand Prix, highlighting the challenges and learning curves in his career progression.
