The team discuss the four big names of the 2027 rider market in the latest Crash MotoGP Podcast
The 2027 MotoGP season is already making headlines due to the upcoming rider market reshuffle.
With new machinery being introduced for the first time in 15 years, the series is in for a major reset.
Almost all contracts, including those of factory team riders, will be up for renewal at the end of 2026, leading to quick deal negotiations.
Certain key names like Fabio Quartararo, Pedro Acosta, Pecco Bagnaia, and Jorge Martin are expected to reshape the rider market significantly.
While some riders prioritize competitive packages over high salaries, others seek assurances about the team’s commitment to racing in 2027.
Pedro Acosta, in particular, is highlighted as a rider focused on fighting for the championship rather than monetary gains.
