One Honda MotoGP rider is being linked to a move to Yamaha for 2027
Honda MotoGP rider Luca Marini addressed rumors of a potential move to Yamaha for the 2027 season amidst the upcoming rider market explosion.
Ducati’s plans for 2026 include pairing Marc Marquez with Pedro Acosta, while Pecco Bagnaia is expected to join Aprilia alongside Marco Bezzecchi.
There are reports of Fabio Quartararo shifting to Honda in 2027, possibly being replaced by Jorge Martin at Yamaha.
Marini’s potential move to Yamaha could benefit both parties as Yamaha is in a rebuilding phase and Marini has been crucial in Honda’s recent success.
Marini’s analytical approach has played a significant role in Honda’s development, but with limited space on Honda’s grid for 2027, his position is uncertain.
Yamaha’s interest in Marini reflects his potential as a strong second rider alongside Jorge Martin, considering their similar experiences in bike development with different teams.
