Italtrans says it is “proud” to see Diogo Moreira attracting MotoGP interest.
Italtrans Moto2 team manager Roberto Brivio expressed pride in Diogo Moreira’s MotoGP prospects, with reports of interest from both Honda and Yamaha for the young Brazilian rider. Moreira, 21, is rumored to have received a multi-year offer from Honda to join LCR Honda in 2026 before moving to the factory team. Luca Marini’s continuation with HRC for 2026 leaves a potential spot at LCR for Moreira, who is seen as a replacement for rookie Somkiat Chantra. However, Yamaha’s Pramac team also has a vacancy alongside Toprak Razgatlioglu, with Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira awaiting a decision. Brivio mentioned the hope that Moreira will remain with Italtrans in Moto2 but ultimately believes the decision rests with the rider. Moreira transitioned from winning the 2023 Indonesian Moto3 Grand Prix to Moto2 with Italtrans last season, showcasing potential with three podium finishes this year. On the other hand, Zarco, currently eighth in the world championship as the leading Honda rider, and Marini, alongside Mir at HRC, show a mixed season performance in MotoGP.
