Two days after his MotoGP debut for 2026 was officially confirmed, Diogo Moreira has revealed that he sought advice from Marc Marquez during the decision-making process, and that the world champion encouraged him to sign with Honda.
Honda’s announcement on Tuesday had a double impact on the championship. On one hand, it confirmed a deal that had been in place for several months, with only minor contractual details delaying the official confirmation. On the other, Moreira’s signing with LCR Honda finalised the 2026 MotoGP grid, leaving no open seats.
