Honda Signs Moto2 Frontrunner Alonso for 2027
Honda said the 20-year-old Colombian will join on a multi-year contract after winning Moto3 and taking one victory in Moto2 this season.
- On Tuesday, Honda Racing Corporation confirmed it signed David Alonso to a multi-year MotoGP contract for 2027, though the manufacturer did not specify whether he will join its factory team or LCR Honda.
- The 20-year-old Colombian won the Moto3 world championship two years ago before advancing to Moto2, where he has secured 20 wins and 30 podiums across both classes.
- While some believe the factory Honda squad offers the ideal transition environment, others argue joining LCR Honda would allow the young rider to adapt to MotoGP with less pressure than in the works team.
- Honda's indecision regarding where Alonso and Moreira will race has delayed the expected announcement of 2021 world champion Fabio Quartararo joining the brand.
- Sources understand the agreement extends beyond the standard two-year term, and Alonso will make his debut on the 2027 Honda machine at the post-race Valencia Test.
