MotoGP’s Future EXPOSED: 2026 Predictions & 2027 Rider Market!

It's our first show of the new year and it's time to throw some predictions out there - from well informed to completely wacky. We mull over the names likely to be fighting at the front of #motogp in 2026, pick our likely surprises in the upcoming 22 rounds, and predict our likely factory team line-ups for 2027 after what will likely be one of the silliest silly seasons in memory!
