Pecco Bagnaia’s decision to choose Aprilia for MotoGP’s next ruleset has implications for Yamaha’s 2027 plans, necessitating a shift in focus.
The potential plan to pair former rivals Bagnaia and Jorge Martin at Yamaha signals a transition post-Fabio Quartararo’s expected era.
Although Quartararo’s departure and Martin’s arrival are not officially confirmed, the team’s lineup appears to be taking shape.
Riders like Fabio Di Giannantonio, Enea Bastianini, and Toprak Razgatlioglu are on Yamaha’s radar for 2027 considerations.
Yamaha may also target a Honda rider who may become available, such as Joan Mir or Luca Marini, to strengthen their lineup.
Additionally, Yamaha could explore unconventional options like Brad Binder or emerging talents from Moto2 for the upcoming season.
