What they're saying

"
The dust has finally settled on one of the wildest ‘Silly Seasons’ in MotoGP history, and now it’s time to ask - who came out on top? All 22 spots on the 2027 grid are now taken, with the only remaining question being who, out of Diogo Moreira and David Alonso, will race for Honda, with the other going to LCR. Only three riders entered 2026 with contracts because of next year's new regulations, which represent some of the biggest changes in MotoGP history.
