Overview

• ELF Marc VDS confirmed Canet will join its Moto2 squad on a multi-year contract beginning in 2026.
• Canet chose Moto2 stability with a reported 2026–27 deal after BMW and Ducati could only offer one-year WorldSBK terms.
• The move marks his first return to a Boscoscuro chassis since leaving Aspar at the end of 2021.
• He is set to replace Jake Dixon in the Belgian team’s Moto2 line-up as Dixon prepares to switch to Honda’s WorldSBK programme.
• BMW’s signing of Danilo Petrucci to replace Toprak Razgatlioglu removed one potential WorldSBK ride and reinforced Canet’s decision.
