Reports Indicate Diogo Moreira Is Finalising a 2026 LCR Honda Deal

A long-term Honda offer that includes a route to factory status aligns with the Moto2 rider’s preference for stability.

Overview

  • Autosport and Motorsport.com report that Moreira is completing terms to join LCR Honda for 2026, with an announcement expected around the Hungarian Grand Prix.
  • The proposal is understood to span three years with a pathway to a factory HRC seat after an initial season, targeting readiness for the 2027 850cc regulations.
  • The switch would displace Somkiat Chantra at LCR, and Autosport reports Idemitsu’s title sponsorship on that side of the garage would end.
  • Yamaha’s Pramac seat had been the alternative, but reporting now points to Jack Miller likely staying as Miguel Oliveira’s position becomes uncertain.
  • Moreira sits third in Moto2 with wins at Assen and the Red Bull Ring, and he has said he prioritizes a multi‑year commitment to develop without pressure.
