Overview

• Moreira consulted Marc Marquez before committing to Honda and says the eight-time world champion told him it was the right choice.
• His LCR Honda agreement is a three-year 2+1 structure with the optional 2028 year dependent on his 2027 performance.
• Honda clinched the highly rated prospect after early interest from Yamaha, finalising the last seat for 2026.
• Despite the move, he remains focused on the 2025 Moto2 fight, trailing Manuel Gonzalez by nine points after the Indonesia disqualification reshaped the standings.
• He is set to line up with Johann Zarco at LCR in 2026, with Brazil returning as Round Two and Moreira the only Brazilian on the premier-class grid.
