Overview

  • He has reportedly received three-year satellite-team offers from Yamaha and Honda for the 2026 MotoGP season.
  • Yamaha’s proposal would place him at Pramac alongside Toprak Razgatlioglu under a multi-year contract supported by his Brazilian sponsorship ties.
  • Reportedly, Honda’s LCR offer includes higher pay on a more competitive bike and a promotion to its factory HRC team after one season.
  • Idemitsu’s preference for an Asian rider and locked-in factory contracts for Alex Rins, Joan Mir and Luca Marini constrain immediate seat availability.
  • Moreira has told Italtrans he will exit Moto2 and is consulting his agent before finalising his 2026 deal.
