Despite next year being one of big changes on the MotoGP grid, this year, all eyes are on the riders. The rider market is hot and heavy, and even before the season has started, rumors have swirled around where everyone's going for the 2027 season, which will see all-new bikes and some new races.
From Pedro Acosta to Jorge Martin, the Marquez brothers, and even Bagnaia and Bezzecchi, everyone's wondering what's going to happen, who'll come out where, and, most importantly, who'll take the last crown of the 1,000cc era.
One early contender, at least if you were paying attention to all the hype surrounding him, was thought to be incoming Pramac Yamaha rider, Toprak Razgatlıoğlu, who is himself a multiple champion within World Superbike. But early testing hasn't gone well for him, and whenever he speaks to the press, or someone comments on the timing sheets from pre-season testing, the phenom's star power slightly wanes.
