Marco Bezzecchi is staying put. Marc Marquez will, too. After that - nearly everone else is on the move in what promises to be a crazy Silly Season. But do riders know what they are getting into for 2027? I analyze all the rumors, and talk about who is headed to the right place to start the 850cc MotoGP era. The Rundown: - Silly Season - this time, it will truly be silly! - Into the unknown: 2027 brings opportunity, but also uncertainty about which bikes will be best - Confirmed: Marco Bezzecchi is married to the idea of Aprilia - Confirmed: Marc will be with Ducati - but is he hedging for Honda, or retirement in the future? - MotoGP Silly Season Rumors: - Pedro Acosta - nobody is surprised, Ducati gets what they are looking for - Pecco Bagnaia doesn't want Yamaha money, Jorge Martin does - Fabio Quartararo could be Honda's secret weapon - KTM and a pair of riders set to take a big chance on each other. There is still more to come! Tuesday we talk testing and manufacturer prospects heading into 2026, and Wednesday look for a preview of theThaiGP!
