Brazil is set to have a new MotoGP rider when Diogo Moreira steps up to the premier class in 2026.

In Austria, his management revealed he had two options on the table from two Japanese factories: Honda and Yamaha. And it was down to the 21-year-old to make a choice. The offer to join MotoGP is there,” he said after winning the Austrian Moto2 race. “For a rookie the most important thing is to have a long contract. But now my focus is Moto2.”

Coming to Hungary, it emerged he has opted for the LCR Honda option, as HRC is keen to move Somkiat Chantra on after a hugely underwhelming start to life as a premier class rider.CN
