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.
- Observers debate whether the factory Honda squad offers ideal transition conditions or if LCR Honda would allow Alonso to adapt with less pressure in the premier class.
- 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.
