Moto2 frontrunner Diogo Moreira is currently facing two premier-class offers from Yamaha’s Pramac Racing and LCR Honda for the 2026 season, with both teams waiting on his decision before finalizing their plans.
Despite his recent success with two wins and two second places in Moto2, Moreira has shown signs of inconsistency, such as causing a collision at the Sachsenring, but this hasn’t deterred the interest from both teams.
Pramac has already secured Toprak Razgatlioglu for 2026 and is waiting to announce its second rider, potentially between Jack Miller or Miguel Oliveira, depending on Moreira’s decision.
Moreira’s personal link with Yamaha’s Brazilian division and the offer of a long-term contract with Razgatlioglu make it his preferred choice, although Honda is also offering him a spot alongside Johann Zarco in LCR.
With the upcoming changes in MotoGP rules and Yamaha’s new V4 engine, Moreira will need to make a decision soon, which could have implications for other riders in the MotoGP paddock.
